War Remnants Museum

A Profound and Eye-Opening Experience The War Remnants Museum is a must-visit for anyone looking to understand Vietnam’s history and the devastating impact of war. The exhibits are powerful, emotional, and deeply thought-provoking. Through photographs, artifacts, and personal stories, the museum paints a vivid picture of the Vietnam War and its consequences. One of the most heartbreaking sections is the Agent Orange exhibit, which highlights the lasting effects of chemical warfare. The war photography gallery is also incredibly moving, showcasing the realities of war through the eyes of journalists. This is not an easy place to visit—it’s heavy, emotional, and at times overwhelming. However, it is an important reminder of the horrors of war and the resilience of the Vietnamese people. If you are in Ho Chi Minh City, don’t miss this museum. It will leave you with a new perspective on history and humanity. Tips: • Allocate at least 1.5–2 hours to explore the museum fully. • Some exhibits contain graphic images, so it may not be suitable for young children. • Consider going early in the day to avoid crowds.

Very interesting. Very factual, not as much of the 'puppet soldiers of the Imperialist America' as there is in the Hanoi museum. Different levels explore different aspects. And some of it isn't very nice. VERY graphic photos, so i would suggest not suitable for young children.

Nice place to visit. Informative with a lot of photos from the past during war time. Through the photos, can really feel the hard time during the war. Worth to visit, may spend 2 hour + if really read through all the information provided.

The place is quite unique and especially if you are into understanding the origins of modern Vietnam this is the best place. It accurately depicts the reasons and more importantly the depth of impact of the war. It takes you on an incredible journey of their history and how they fought for their freedom. Please take around 2 to 3 hours to enjoy the entire journey.

Very cool museum. Never felt so much pain inside a museum. It was awful what happened. Glad I got to learn more. It makes me a little bit more considerate to Vietnamese people since they can be a little hard and grumpy.( mostly to tourists). Tourist should go so they can understand that you need to show a lot of respect in their country. They don’t have a responsibility to be the best hosts. But we have the responsibility to show gratitude for them letting us be in their country even though most of westerners took so much from them. Not suitable for kids in my opinion even though they had a kids room where they can play and dress up in Vietnamese customs.

If you want to learn about this tragic war, this is the spot! Very nice museum in the center of downtown. Outdoor and indoor exhibits with a decent shop for gifts. I was there with friends who are locals, have to admit some parts were very emotional. Makes you appreciate the fact I have never had to experience such a war in my lifetime.

The best attraction in Saigon. The military aircraft and vehicles were interesting as you can get up close to them, but for me, the photographs on display inside were the most informative of what really went on in the Vietnam war, especially the Americans using Agent Orange on the Vietnamese people.

An excellent history lesson, it's a very well equipped museum with lots of photos, relics and informative data about the war. I've read people complaining about the heat, there were air conditioning in all rooms when I've visited the place in February 2025 so I don't think this is a problem (anymore) It was moderately crowded, I recommend more than 1 hour if you want to see it all and read some of the notes and if you go to the Orange Room it's better if you do it on an empty stomach because what's shown there is pretty hard to watch. The ticket is 40.000 vnd and I've waited less than 2 minutes to buy it and to get inside
