 War Remnants Museum by JohanIsWeg
Aside from the exhibition rooms there is quite a bit of military hardware on display, including a fighter jet, helicopter, long-barrelled canon and various tanks.
One of the most interesting areas of the Museum is dedicated to the French guillotine sent to Vietnam in 1911 and a model of the infamous tiger cages in which prisoners were tortured.
Open daily from 8am to 11.45am and 1.30pm to 4.45pm.
Entry fee is VND 10,000. Address: 28 Vo Van Tan Street, District 3, HCMCPhone: (84-8) 829 0325

War Remnants Museum opened its doors in 1975. The ugly truths about war shown in pictures exhibited, hit you sharply. You see how much suffering has taken place through the eyes (cameras) of foreigners witnessing Vietnam war. It is very hard to hold yourself not to cry when war crimes are shown in one exhibition section. We left the museum with my wife deeply saddened and we felt more connected to Vietnamese people learning more about their history. In a world where we seek peace globally, this museum shows how ugly things can get during war. Openinhg hours are 7:30 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 17:00 everyday. Admission fee is 15000 Dong or 1 USD.

 The Girl in The Picture by muddybok
I also cried when I read the book. Nah! Just kidding.
I visited Vietnam with zero knowledge about Vietnam War, beside those scenes that I saw from Forrest Gump movie. When I saw those pictures in War Remnants Museum, I feel so disgusted by the Special Forces sent by U.S.A. Leave a Comment

THE WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM USED TO BE CALLED THE "MUSEUM OF CHINESE AND AMERICAN WAR CRIMES"
I DONT CARE IF YOUR A GUN TOTTING, MEDAL BEDECKED WAR HERO THIS MUSEUM BRINGS HOME THE COLD HARD TRUTH THAT WAR IS BRUTAL.
DONT GET ME WRONG, I DONT RUN ABOUT WITH A FLOWER IN MY MOUTH..FAR FROM IT.
BUT THIS PLACE REALLY DOES MAKE YOU STAND BACK AND THINK.
THERE ARE PHOTOS HERE SHOWING THE RESULT OF AMERICAN NAPALMING AND THE USE OF AGENT ORANGE.. YOU REALLY DO HAVE TO HAVE A STRONG STOMACH TO LOOK AT SOME OF THESE PHOTOS. THE PICTURES OF THE DEFORMED BABIES IN THE JARS HAD ME LOST FOR WORDS.
HERE AT THE MUSEUM YOU WILL ALSO FIND LOADS OF ARMOURED VEHICLES.. A HELICOPTER..ARTILLERY..AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEAPONS ALL ON DISPLAY.
THERE ARE ALSO MODELS OF THE "TIGER CAGES" USED BY THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE TO KEEP VC PRISONERS IN.
THIS IS A MUSEUM THAT REALLY IS WORTH VISITING.. TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ ALL THE LITTLE CAPTIONS UNDER THE PHOTOS.. I BET YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE WITH A DIFFERENT VIEW ON A LOT OF THINGS...I FOR ONE DID.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO VISIT THE REUNIFICATION PALACE AND WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM IN THE SAME DAY THEN I WOULD SAY TO YOU TO GO TO THE PALACE WHEN IT OPENS GIVING YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO SEE AROUND THEN GO FOR A BITE TO EAT..BY THE TIME YOU'VE HAD LUNCH THE REMNANTS MUSEUM WILL HAVE REOPENED.
THEN YOU WILL HAVE ALL AFTERNOON TO TAKE IN THE MUSEUM AT YOUR LEISURE.
OPENING TIMES ARE 7-30AM-NOON AND 1.30PM-5PM ADD 15.000D

Probably the most frequently visited museum in HCMC, the War Remnants Museum is a great place to wander around. It was opened to the public in September, 1975 and shows exhibits on the after effects of war crimes against the Vietnamese people. It has 8 permanent exhibitions as well as other collections and these include: Historical Truths (causes, origins and processes of agressive wars), "Requiem" (a collection of photos taken by 134 war reporters, killed during the Vietnam War), Vestiges of war crimes and aftermaths, the Imprisonment System (showing detention camps, prisons and torturing methods), Photo collections of two Japanese reporters, International support for the Vietnamese people in their resistance war, "War and Peace" (a children's painting collection) and U.S. state of the art weaponry used in the Vietnam War.
The museum is open from 7.30am-12.00pm and 1.30pm-5pm. Last admission is 4.30pm. Address: 28 Vo Van Tan, District 3, HCMCPhone: 84 8 9302112Other Contact: warrmhcm@gmail.com

 Missiles on the UH-1
Helicopter by Aidy_p
Big bombs, solid tanks, attack helicopters and the works. The military equipment were placed in the outdoors without any protection or shade. But it was not the equipment that got my attention, but the effects of Agent Orange on humans. Babies came out deformed; people died; the Vietnamese were scarred for life. The point that has ingrained more into my mind is that War sees no victory. Both warring nations would suffer.
I'd say that the 15,000VND that I paid was pretty worth it because of the knowledge gained. Address: 20, Vo Van Tan, District 3Phone: 848 9302112Directions: Building on one side of the road has odd numbers while on the other, even. Walk down the street, and you'll see that the home number gets smaller. Just walk on till you see the entrance.Other Contact: warrmhcm@gmail.com

 Entrance to war museum by stedeb
The musuem is very interesting to visit but does have some awful picures from the war.
The museum is open from 7.30am-11.45 thn again from 1.30pm-4.45pm and cost 10,000VND.
We took a taxi but we were then able to walk to the Reunification Palace which was a bit of a fizzle as it was closed because of time we weren't able to get back.
It certainly doesn't look like a museum from the outside and could easily be missed if you are not dropped of right outside as the picture show. Leave a Comment Address: 28 D Vo Van TanPhone: 8290325
