    The War Remnants Museum was established in September 1975 in Ho Chi Minh City. It contains countless artifacts, photographs, and pictures documenting the Vietnam War. There are also some exhibits which are more graphic (photo courtesy of my friend). It's a very interesting visit. Just don't not go there during lunch hour or you'll be "chased out". Note the opening hours!

    The War Remnants museum is definitely the must-see museum in Ho Chi Minh.
    One of the bloodiest wars ever.

    The disturbing War Remnants Museum highlights the horrors of modern combat, and especially portrays the suffering inflicted on the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War. Previously called the Museum of American War Crimes, the name was altered so as not to cause offence to American visitors, but its displays do tell the story from an anti-American perspective. The museum houses a collection of weapons, machinery, artefacts and horrific photographs illustrating the devastating affects of napalm, Agent Orange and other weapons of mass destruction. One room is dedicated to biological warfare, including the effects of the defoliant sprays that were dumped over the country. Another room looks at worldwide demonstrations for peace and international opposition to the war. In the courtyard there are tanks, helicopters, planes and bombs on display.

    The entance to the museum cost 10,000D Similar to other war-related museum, pictures of the war are exhibited- how ppl being tortured and their suffering, as well as the heavy weapons used are exhibited.

    The museum is located near to Reunification Palace. Walking is possible from pham ngu lao area. Of course you can always hire cyclo or cab. They will wave for you all the way on your way there.

    The war remnants museum is a place that you should give some time to when in saigon. I have to admit that our visit didn't do it justice - we were in the midst of a very hot, jet-lagged cyclo tour and didn't spend long there and weren't really in the right frame of mind. Go there once you've had a few days to absorb Saigon then you can give it a closer look.

    War Remnants Museum: A grim reminder of the cruelty of war

    This museum is divided into 6 exhibition halls. Plenty of gruesome pictures of the war - locals being tortured and massacred, casualties of the "napalm" bombs, etc...You can also see a print of the famous Pulitzer winning photo of the girl fleeing from the scene, being injured by the napalm bomb.

    A solemn, grim reminder of the cruelty of war.

    Entrance ticket cost 10000VND.

    You'll see quite a number of war planes as you step into the museum grounds. These old planes were used during the war, and offer some photo-taking opportunities for tourists (like myself). This picture shows a US Air Force plane.

    A must see if you are visiting HCMC. Together with the Cu Chi tunnels they give you a good view of the Vietnam(American) war, if a little biased.
    There are a lot of photos on display that shows the soldiers in battle, or the casulaties of war, especially of agent orange. They have a video screening that shows the effects of the Americans using chemical weapons during the war. It highlights how the chemicals still affect the vietnamese even today.
    They also have a few display prison cells and old war planes/tanks on display.
    It is very interesting to look at the comments written in the comments book. The different views about the war that people hold.
    The images will sober you up to the horrors of war, especially for people like me, where war seems far away.

    Formally known as the Museum of Chinese and American War crimes. We didn't see anything linked to the Chinese. However, it's a chance to hear about the victims of US military action tell their own story. It also covers the actions of the french as well. It is hard going and you do learn more about the victims of agent orange. I wouldn't bring young children here. It is certainly worth a visit.
