Vietnam War Remnants Museum-Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)
The War Remnants Museum in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) features photographic exhibits and war memorabilia from the Vietnam War and the story is told from the point of view of the Communist North Vietnamese government. As I say in the video, it's best not to eat before viewing some of the photographs, which can be quite graphic.
The museum originally opened in 1975 as the Exhibition House for US and Puppet Crimes located in the premises of the former United States Information Agency building. In 1990, the name changed to Exhibition House for Crimes of War and Aggression, dropping both U.S. and Puppet. In 1995, following the normalization of diplomatic relations with the United States and end of the US embargo from a year before, the references to war crimes and aggression were dropped from the museum's title as well; it became the War Remnants Museum It is one of the most popular museums in Vietnam, attracting approximately half a million visitors every year. According to the museum's own estimates, about two-thirds of these are foreigners.

Vietnam National Museum of History
Explore ancient artifacts & walk through this curiously interesting 1930's museum & a great example itself of French Indochina architecture. Located in Hanoi, you can see the exhibits & explore the grounds from the comfort of your computer or plan your trip. An interesting old style museum- as museums go. I think this is #3 on 'what to see in Hanoi'. In 2013 they had a special exhibit on Cham culture, & also on ancient lamps which you can see here. Thanks to my Viet students for helping put this together.

Gia Long Palace (Vietnamese: Dinh Gia Long), now officially The Ho Chi Minh City Museum (Vietnamese language: Bảo tàng Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) is a historical site and museum in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The museum is situated at the corner of Lý Tự Trọng and Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa streets, located on 2 hectares of land, near the Independence Palace.
- Address No.65 Ly Tu Trong St., Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
- Opening hour: 8:00AM - 5:00PM from Monday to Sunday (including holidays)
The building was built in 1885 – 1890, designed by the French architect Foulhoux was built between 1885 – 1890. It was designed by Alfred Foulhoux, a French architect, blending the Occidental style with Oriental style. The building was originally intended for use as the Commercial museum exhibiting native specialities, but it became the Cochinchina governor’s palace.
In 1945, the building belonged to five owners. The Japanese fascist government took over the French colonial government in March, Yoshio Minoda, the Japanese Governor occupied the palace, then Japanese government entrusted it to the regime of Bao Dai – Tran Trong Kim. The King’s special envoy of the Cochichina, Nguyen Vaên Sam used as private residence for a short time. On August 25 th 1945, the Revolution force lowered Bao Dai force’s flag and raised the revolution’s flag. Then the building became the Southern Provisional Administrative committee’s headquarter. On September 10 th 1945, B.W Roe Lieutenant – colonel (British mission) occupied legally the palace so the Southern Provisional Administrative committee’s headquarter had to move to Doc Ly palace (nowadays is Ho Chi Minh city’s people council).
After re-invading Saigon on May 23rd 1947, the French government entrusted the palace to Le Van Hoach and used as the Southern autonomous government’s headquarter, then it became Tran Van Huu Governor’s palace, the Southern government’s palace on June 2 nd 1948.
After Geneva treaty 1954, Ngo Dinh Diem regime used the building as Quoc Khach palace. On February 27 th 1962, the Unification palace bombed, Ngo Dinh Diem used the palace as the presidential palace. Twenty months later, November 1st 1963, Saigon troops took over Ngo Dinh Diem regime. The Unification palace already built in 1962, this building was the Supreme court. Since 1975, it became Revolution museum of Ho Chi Minh City, it has been Ho Chi Minh city museum since December 13 th 1999.

►Read 23 Things to do in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam:
►FREE eBook:
When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnam’s largest and most exciting city.
1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if you’re looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple.
3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam.
4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city.
5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit.
7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. It’s a beautiful building.
8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, it’s a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war.
9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available.
10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon.
11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city.
12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational.
13. San Art Laboratory – If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon.
14. Turtle Lake at Night - If you’re looking for some things to do at night in Saigon, head to Turtle Lake to chill out, relax, hang out with friends, and eat snacks.
15. Ben Thanh Market - One of the most famous things to do in Saigon District 1 is visit the Ben Thanh Market, one of the major central landmarks of the city.
16. Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around.
17. Water Puppet Show - Though originally from the north of Vietnam, water puppet shows are popular also in Saigon. I went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet theater.
18. Museum of Vietnamese History - Probably one of the most extensive and important museum showing the history of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
19. Rooftop Bar - Seeing Saigon from above offers a great perspective.
20. Fine Arts Museum - This was my favorite of all the museums in Saigon. The museum is housed in a well preserved building, and the art is amazing - located right in District 1 across the roundabout from Ben Thanh Market.
21. Jade Emperor Pagoda - Dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the pagoda has a real ancient feel to it, and it’s worth seeing when you visit.
22. Local Wet Market - One of my favorite things to do is visit a local fresh wet market, which you’ll find all over the city. The ingredients, food, and culture, all stand out at fresh markets.
23. Vietnamese Street Food - By my ultimate favorite activity in Saigon is eating street food, and there are an abundance of delicious Vietnamese street foods to sample.
Thank you for watching this video about the top 23 things to do in Saigon, Vietnam. I hope it has given you some great ideas to help you plan your visit.

Vietnam War Remnants Museum in Saigon (4K)
As part of our Saigon Vietnam tour we visited the Vietnam War Remnants Museum. Aka the Bảo tàng chứng tích chiến tranh in Vietnamese, the museum is located at 28 Vo Van Tan, in District 3 of HCMC (Ho Chi Minh City). It is open from 7:30 AM until 5:30 PM daily.
This was certainly a somber visit, and a reminder of the brutal realities of the war, from the viewpoint of the Vietnamese government.

My thoughts on the Vietnam War Museum | Ho Chi Minh City
Well today was slightly depressing as we paid a visit to the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The museum is centered around the war taking place in and around Vietnam from the 1950's - 70's in a conflict mainly involving the North Vietnamese against the South Vietnamese and their American allies. While in the United States we generally refer to it as the Vietnam War in Vietnam it is known as The Resistance War Against America (Kháng chiến chống Mỹ) or simply The American War.
It's a place everyone should see if you visit the nation's capital of Ho Chi Minh, aka Saigon. While it doesn't make for an easy or light hearted day, the war played a huge part of Vietnam's recent history and is what put the current government there into power. Besides the political implications, many citizens, especially in rural areas, are still dealing with the effects from the chemical weapons used, known as agent orange.
I think it's important to keep the darker parts of history alive so that hopefully future generations can find a way not to repeat the past. I also think it's remarkable that a county which was at full out war with mine not so long ago is now one of our allies and one of my favorite places in the world to visit.

SAIGON WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM HO CHI MINH CITY VIETNAM HISTORY
VV 2004 TRIP The emotional highlight of a stay in Ho Chi Minh was a visit to its War Museum. I went to this incredible war museum which I really want to mention because I want to promote them. It's a phenomenal museum. The war museum in Ho Chi Minh City used to be a Buddhist pagoda destroyed by the French soldiers when the American War or the Vietnamese War was the French War following the World War. There was a variety of the weaponry displayed in the museum and used against the Vietnamese people during the war. On display was a guillotine left over from the French War which had actually been used in the sixties by the Americans on suspected Viet Cong. In addition there was napalm, huge tanks, artillery guns, anti-artillery guns and anti-personnel weapons (such as bombs that resemble oranges or pineapples.) There were land shaking bombs which, while never exploding would be dropped from the sky and float to the earth using an umbrella like device. After landing they would shake the ground for a radius of 3km, knocking down village huts and even making people ill with nausea.

Water Puppet Show at Museum of Vietnamese History in Saigon
The Vietnamese History Museum is housed in a building sited in the large park and zoo located at the end of Le Duan Street. The galleries are all on a single floor, although the levels change some between one hall and another through the circular plan.
Each gallery focuses on a different era of Vietnamese history, starting with the stone age and proceeding up through the French colonial period as you move clockwise through the building. Of particular interest are some sandstone sculptures from the seventh and eighth centuries, Roman coins from the second century and a collection of cannons from Hue in the nineteenth century.
The museum also hosts special exhibits. When I visited, the rotunda hosted a collection of wooden imperial furniture. There's also a small water puppet theater that puts on short shows, but nothing like the national water puppets theater in Hanoi.

Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi - A Surreal Experience
BRAND NEW!!! Check out my DJI Osmo Pocket Test Footage:
We visited the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Ho Chi Minh City und weren't much impressed. So when we heard about a similar museum in honor of the great leader we weren't even sure if we want to visit.
We did and we're so happy we visited the museum. The interior design is a must see and his story very interesting.

My Story:
After 49 years of doing the hamster-wheel in California, I finally left it all
and decided to see what Southeast Asia had to offer. I moved to the Philippines
for 6 years, experienced some of the best times of my entire life!
Now, I am exploring again and living in Vietnam. Join me as I venture out to see
more of Vietnam and the surrounding areas. I will share with you my thoughts on
what I see and how I handle the various challenges of living as a full-time expat

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the Largest City in Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly named Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam. The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers from the South China Sea and 1,760 kilometers south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The metropolitan area is populated by more than 9,000,000 people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam and the countries of the former French Indochina.
The city was once an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Conquered by France in 1859, the city was influenced by the French during their colonial occupation of Vietnam, and a number of classical Western-style buildings and French villas in the city reflect this.
Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1955-75. In 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City, after the pre-eminent but by-then deceased North Vietnamese leader. However the old Saigon name is still used by both Vietnamese and foreigners, especially when referring to the most central part of the city to which most tourists flock.
Today, the city's core is still adorned with wide elegant boulevards and historic French colonial buildings. The most prominent structures in the city center are Reunification Palace, City Hall, the Municipal Theatre and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Some of the historic hotels are the Hotel Majestic, dating from the French colonial era, and the Rex and Caravelle hotels are former hangouts for American officers and war correspondents in the 1960s/70s. The city has various museums, such as the Ho Chi Minh City Museum or the Museum of Vietnamese History.
