War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City

This museum is very respectfully done. The photographs are amazing, but some are very graphic (just to be aware). As you enter there are old tanks and planes, very neat to see up close. The museum flows in a time line fashion with very detailed descriptions of the photographs and artifacts. One of the upper floors has a children's area and on the ground level is an outdoor coffee shop. I'd allow about 2 hours at least and more if you're a reader of everything like myself.

There is a lot to see here. It's fascinating but also so sad. There are many relics from the war. Planes, tanks, helicopters, bombs etc. Mostly left behind by the Americans. The real moments from the war are in the pics though. There are 3 levels in the Museum. Each level devoted to different aspects of the conflict and some politics. With many photo graphs representing both sides of the war. The pics are explained in Vietnamese and English. It's worth spending a few hours here and not be in a rush.
