The Kim Liên Museum (Template:Lang-vi) is a museum that was the childhood home of Ho Chi Minh in Làng Sen, Kim Liên village, Nam Đàn district, Nghệ An Province, Vietnam.[1]

The museum is located 2 km from the temple of Hoàng Trù near his mother's home where Ho Chi Minh was actually born. Ho lived here from 1890 to 1895 when his father Nguyễn Sinh Sắc served as vice-magistrate.

The building consists of a palm-leaf thatch roof and bamboo wattle walls are re-creation of the original in 1959.[2] A family alter built with brick is located nearby. Other buildings at the museum complex are built in Vietnamese temple architectural style and were not present when Ho lived there.

There is gift shop and admission to the museum is free.[3]
