Superb. I didn't expect very much and could not have been more pleasantly surprised. An excellent size - not too big and not too small. Excellent English descriptions with many having QR codes for more info. A wonderful range of exhibits on Vietnamese history and culture which is very much focused on quality rather than quantity. Really conveys what a melting pot of cultures and conflict this region had been for over a thousand years. I spent about an hour here and it is probably the best hour I spent in Saigon. Highly recommended. P.S. I didn't manage to see the puppet show but currently out it's in at 10:30am and 2:30pm.

At last, a museum that displays everything chronologically. Bless them. It makes it very easy to go through the country history (it stops before modern era). There's a lot to read if you wish and a lot of descriptions and depictions about where the local tribes were located, and who fought who, when. However you can easily go through the museum and look at some nice artefacts.

Absolutely stunning museum. Such vast information on the history of vietnam dating back centuries. Not many places we went had as much detail/ artefacts and it was so interesting and great to see. The garden courtyard area was absolutely beautiful. They also do water puppet shows there, although we didn’t do this it looked great. Definitely recommend
