Gaining insight into the battle and its lasting effects on a large number of individuals made the tour worthwhile. Reading about the use of chemical warfare and torture techniques was really upsetting.

Firstly the museum has some wonderful exhibits and is something of a must see. But... If you took the story told by this museum as a factual cccount you would be mistaken. Its erronious by omission. The term Vietnamese only means those who followed the Communist North, absolutley no mention is made of the huge number of Vietnamese from the South (many who moved South on partition in the first place) who fought against them and whos ideology was opposed to them. This is portrayed soley as an American agression resisted by all Vietnamese, which it was not. There were attrocities, not least among them the number of bodies unearthed around Hue post the Tet uprising, upwards of 2,800 following a massacre of unarmed civilians by the Communists. This is an example of attrocity erased from history in this museum at the expense of other attrocities. The museum is fascinating as an example of how history can be used for political purposes. As stated there are some absolutley fascinating exhibits and items, and there is a powerful story to tell..... and in many respect this collection is part of that story. Not an unbiased objective part but a part of the story nonetheless.

We spent two hours here - couldn't handle more. The war photos and exhibits are intense and emotionally draining. Some displays feel one-sided, but the stories are powerful. The aircraft collection outside was interesting. Not for sensitive viewers. Go early to avoid school groups. Definitely puts things in perspective.

The War Remnants Museum offers a mix of documentaries, memorials, and artwork. We found it interesting but a bit heavy. The exhibits are impactful, yet the atmosphere felt a bit overwhelming at times. It’s worth a visit for a glimpse into history, but don’t expect a light experience.

I thought the museum was amazing. Very educational and informative. At times, people in my group got very emotional. The stories about the My Lai massacre and the footage of the after effects of a Napalm attack were horrendous. I personally didn’t find it heavy handed in a propaganda way at all. There are a lot of contributions from USA but rightly it is mainly about the experience of the Vietnamese people

Always enjoy the history of Vietnam and this visit was one off the bucket list. The place is haunting, I thought I knew a lot about the war but this was a real eye opener. Every room has a different horror story and it gets worse and worse. Maybe children from all over the world should be made visit this place to see how pointless any war is. Such a shame its happening in Palestine today and we sit back and do nothing

Choosing a 5 star is a little misleading for a lace that shares the story that it does. It was a shocking and educational tour to be a part of. It is worth the emotional visit to learn the atrocities that were committed and to ideally be a part of a world that will not let this happen again

Its interesting to have a walk through and see the war from the Vietnamese side. The only problem is of course the propaganda and their white washing of their own sides behaviour during the war. Some interesting pieces of military equipment outside the building. Their is also no acknowledgment that Vietnam has since fought wars with China and Cambodia.

The War Remnants Museum in Vietnam offers a deeply moving and educational experience with its comprehensive exhibits on the Vietnam War and its aftermath. The content is well-curated and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into a significant period of history. However, the lack of air conditioning is a major drawback, especially considering the tropical climate. Visitors often find it unbearable to stay in the indoor sections for more than 5-10 minutes, which detracts from the overall experience. For a museum of such national and historical significance, improving the facilities should be a priority for the Vietnam Government.

The museum was a great and emotional experience. I've never read or seen pictures to that extent of the horrible things that happened in that war. I'm so glad I went there, it is well worth the trip.

Amazing museum, incredibly moving - ended up getting quite teary at several points. My friend and I knew little about the Vietnam war and it was insightful and good to learn more !

The photographs and artifacts brought the past to life, sparking deep conversations between us. It’s a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand Vietnam’s resilience and spirit.

We visited the museum as part of our tour and did not enjoy it. The war ended 50 years ago and as in all wars some terrible things happened. However to have a whole section dedictaed to the awful effects of agent orange seems excessive. There was also a lot ot propaganda inthe information given in all sections of the museum.. I did find the photos taken by the was correspondents interesting and quite enjoyed seeing the planes and other equipment outside, but did not feel that this museum should be included in a tour itinery and should always be optional

This is a deep museum that can leave you upset. There a re alot of pictures and information that I think it wouldn't be appropriate for children. There was no ac, and it was too hot that we couldn't even breath at some of the halls.

This is not appropriate for young kids even though you will see troves of kids on field trips. Be prepared to challenge everything you have learned in history class. War sucks and this is a vivid account of why and who suffers the most in war.
