War Remnants Museum

Very informative and somber experience. Learned a lot about the US war in Vietnam. Some exhibitions and pics were sad to see and heart wrenching, but it gave context about the war and also demonstrated the resilience of the Vietnamese people. Good idea to visit if you want to learn more about the war that happened in Vietnam and the history of the country.

A very disturbing experience. It was estimated how terrible and harmful war is. Tributes to the martyrs and prayers to prevent such incidents from happening again. In this museum, the preservation of small objects has been done in a very good manner.♿

This museum will transport you back to the era of war. It is meticulously maintained and the exhibits are well-organized. The museum is extensive, so please allow ample time for your visit. There is a great deal of information to absorb.

Interesting museum with various military vehicles to see. It’s not air-conditioned so I found it a bit hot even inside. The exhibits were informative and often very emotive which is to be expected given the subject. I think it’s very important for all visitors to just remember that this is a museum portraying the conflict from the Vietnamese governments side and some fact checking and critical thinking is necessary to balance the narrative. There is zero consideration of the opposing forces view point or mention of any of the wider issues. Overall I was left with a sense of horror at the Vietnam conflict which I think it’s fair to say is the most important aim of the museum. Just remember history is written by the victors.

I think the War Remnants Museum is a must see at least once when you visit Saigon. Welcoming you with possibly used weapons of war (I can't really say for certain whether they were real or not) at the front, the place is a good reminder of what the Vietnamese ancestors went through to get where they are now. It was quite difficult for me growing up to understand the history of my Southeast Asian neighbors, so this place successfully filled the gaps. They also had audio guides for 200000 vnd available in different languages so you could go around the place at your own pace. It is full of pictures, stories, and Remnants from the Vietnam War and the years prior. The only thing that made me cross off a star is the fact that it is quite hot inside. If there was an air conditioner, I didn't feel it. Yes, it could be because there were simply too many bodies moving about, but as a place continously being touted to tourists, it would have been nice if the place was kept cooler. I was with my mother and the humidity and the heat made her feel so uncomfortable that we unfortunately had to cut the trip short. Maybe if there were some vending machines nearby to allow us to refresh ourselves, that could have enticed us to stay longer. If there were any, we didn't see them.

Interesting war museum telling the sad story about the distroying that a human is capable of doing. A lot of detailed photo's , descriptions and testimony of survived people and members of their family. Places like this need to learn us how to respect each other, and the nature surrounding us.

Such a sad part of history which is best forgotten. Also time to admire the resilience of the people of Vietnam who have managed to get the country back on its feet! We must learn from such incidents in history but we never do!!

Review: Visiting the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City was a deeply emotional and educational experience. The museum offers a vivid glimpse into the harsh realities of war, particularly the Vietnam War, and its lasting impact on the country and its people.
