Extremely informative and confronting experience. I learned so much about the US/Vietnam war and its lasting impacts on the people of Vietnam and US veterans.

This was a good experience. When you go to the lacquer shop. Make sure to go upstairs as well. 4 stops are completed. Unification palace, post office, war museum, and several stores.

An interesting historical sight with mostly anti USA war material presented from Vietnams point of view. This a must see as it is very well set out and has descriptions in english or you can have a head set.,

This was incredibly emotional. Take your time and read the plaque, they are well worth it telling the story of the American/Vietnamese War. Take your tissues! The agent orange and war crimes sections are particularly difficult

A visit to Ho Chi Minh City may not be as balanced and real as it should be if you skip this museum, whether by choice or for lack of time. The museum makes it impossible to overlook the horrendous consequences of war, any war, on everything else. On everything we love, everything that makes life worth living. It accomplishes that mission without denying that wars must also sometimes be fought to fight for the same things: Everything that we love, everything that makes life worth living. The museum is more relevant than ever. In a City that offers visitors more choices for things to do than most other places, after you come here, you will know why this is the #2, on a list of almost 400 options. Make your visit to Ho Chi Minh City real and set aside at least half a day for this unique museum.

Really enjoyed visiting this museum, lots of really interesting topics covered and very insightful. Worth visiting if you come to HCMC.

This passage serves as a somber reflection on war's devastating impact on innocent people who continue to endure its consequences even now. May we as a society have recognized that Vietnam remains, as it has always been, a nation of deeply devoted citizens with a remarkable heritage, cultural richness, and promising tomorrow.

A must see in Vietnam. This museum reflects on the historic events in the times of a terrible war in Vietnam. It shows the amazing spirit of the Vietnamese people and the awful events that occurred. Good to be educated on this topic we learned a lot.

Quite a harrowing experience all in all but they really should update it with better AV, more accounts of how it impacted people and dramatically improve their AC. Really shocking what a superpower was capable of doing in such recent times - everyone visiting vietnam should see this Rob

With the amount of documentation that exists on the Vietnam war this comes in as a mediocre museum. It's limited to a vast amount of black and white photos and some artifacts such as weapons and equipment. In terms of presentation and infrastructure it is amateur at most. The building itself desperately needs better air conditioning. Bathrooms need improvement. For anyone from the "latin" part of the world there is no support in Spanish or Portuguese. Overall, there is a lack of interactive material and even wrong information (as in the case of a photograph from Argentina identified as Cuban and with a completely wrong translation). I1ve been to at least half a dozen war museums that this one could have used as a framework for theirs. It was a terrible and unjust war, this museum comes far from doing history justice.

For those not familiar with the timelines related to Vietnam’s quest for independence, this is a good place to learn. Incomplete as it relates to US POW treatment at the hands of Vietnam and Viet cong but the other information represents an accurate timeline of events as I remember and documented in news and other publications.

For me and my wife the War Remnants Museum was a shocking experience. We could not believe half of what we saw at the War Remnants Museum… those exhibits with propaganda and historical objects gave new eyes on the Vietnam War. Close-up views of the aircrafts and military stuff look cool but a few are heavily biased in one stance. Its proficiency to be housed in Saigon, however the heft of the material took reflection rather than relaxation from the museum. Essential visit for history buffs, however I entered with my head lowered from the outset.

I knew very little about the Vietnam war so found this museum fascinating - and shocking. There’s some photography and exhibits that are uncomfortable to view as they shows man’s inhumanity to man - including war crimes and the long term impact of agent orange. Start on the top floor of the building (second floor) and work your way down to best understand the exhibitions and timeline. Allow 1-2 hours - and don’t miss the tiger cages/prison exhibition to the left as you enter the museum.

An extraordinary compilation of photographs and insights into the Vietnam War, including its historical context and lasting impact. Requiem stands out as the most powerful museum exhibit I’ve encountered, featuring striking film images captured during the conflict that moved me to tears with their haunting detail and poignant narratives. Some of the visuals are intensely raw and may be unsettling. I suggest dedicating a few hours to fully explore the exhibit, as it spans three floors and includes additional displays outdoors. Truly a profound and unforgettable experience.

A must see experience. I knew very little of the Vietnam war but know a whole lot more now. Extremely shocked at the level of atrocity carried out by US. Why was no one found guilty of war crimes?? Real life experiences that are heartbreaking to read and horrific pictures. A very difficult viewing but very worth while.
