The Lao National Museum is a building located in Vientiane, the capital of Laos. The structure was originally built in 1925 as the French governor's residence and today presents the history of the nation, highlighting the Lao people's struggle to free the country from foreign occupation.[1] It is located on Samsenthai road, opposite the cultural hall. In 2007, the United States donated a grant to help develop the building.[2]
