This museum provides an insight to the impact of the war. It houses a wide collection of photographs of the period of the Vietnam war and the aftermath. They also have some of the war remnants including a chopper, tanker on display.

Well, what can I say...you will spend hours or a few minutes in this "museum". It's not worth an excellent rating for quality but I gave it 5 stars for its (and it must be true) "tongue in cheek" approach. In the history of Vietnam this conflict was a mere "blink of an eye" but they have realised that this brings in the Dollars so why not exploit it and so good luck to them.

I have been to many war museums around the world but none have moved me as much as this museum. Some of the photos are confronting but they are a stark reminder about the realities of war and a reminder that there are no winners. The museum is well set out, informative and moving. It is an absolute must see if in Ho Chi Minh City.

An extensive collection of pictures and artefacts from the Vietnam war. History, as they say, is written by the victor, so don’t expect any sympathetic treatment of US/South Vietnamese combattants. Indeed, the exhibits lionise the North and ALMOST err towards glorifying the deaths of “invaders”. Nevertheless, it’s an important reflection of how one side experienced the war, and a grimly compelling picture of what it was like for the ordinary people of Vietnam to endure the long conflict between their own nationalists and the southern govts allied first to France and then the US. Note that it’s not a “hands-on” museum - there are (I think…) no interactive exhibits or stuff like that (so perhaps not really a place aimed at young kids). Yet the rusting hulks of US choppers, tanks, mechanised guns etc serve to illustrate the commitment of massive firepower made by Washington. And to be close to the giant shells and missiles fired by these weapons is chilling. The majority of the collection is made up of themed exhibits of war photography, with detailed text accompanying the pictures. Some images are extremely graphic, reminding us of the terrible cost of war. We see also that atrocities took place on the pro-western side (no mention that I saw of any such behaviour from the Northern forces…) Meanwhile, there is a sobering roll call of war correspondents who gave their lives to bring us the pictures. Go to this museum prepared to spend at least a couple of hours, and be ready do a lot of reading. But read up about the war from other sources too, in order that you get the full picture.

A well worth visit in HCMC. My husband used the audio guide which he found very good. I done reading and found it well translated. Very harrowing images but very well put together.

To go to the remnants museum cost us 40,000 Dong. We paid at the door and didn’t need to buy a ticket before going online. The puppet show you will need a ticket online. The museum was just incredible and worth every cent we paid. If you don’t understand what happened in the Vietnam war, this is a place you can take yourself around and read everything in English. Would highly recommend to anybody

Well maintained museum with so much to see & be aware of. Your respect for Vietnam is incomplete without seeing this place. The horror & courage & harsh reality portrayed here is chilling & you come out only with respect for Vietnamese people.

A real good tour , very biased against USA and maybe the the right option. Good insight into the war and how things developed over a long period of time. I would recommend visiting but keep an open mind.

my friend and I walked to the war remnants museum . I am glad I toured the museum and see the effects of war and hoped to never ever be at one . It was worth the visit . I recommend highly a visit when one visits Ho Chih Ming :-)

Was worth the visit to gain a perspective on the war and its long term impact on many people. Quite confronting to read about the torture methods and the chemical warfare used. You will likely feel a little sick in the stomach after seeing many of the ‘displays’
