WAR REMNANTS MUSEUM, HCMC, VIETNAM





The War Remnants Museum is divided into themed galleries which exhibit controversial photographs, graphics, military equipment, children artworks, and the guillotine used by the French. Although it appears that the museum is used as a propaganda against the Americans and French, I think that its purpose is to remind or educate everyone of the life of the Vietnamese people during the war.

What you will see in the museum:

1st Gallery - where controversial photographs and graphics of massacred Vietnamese during the war are on display.

The Guillotine which was used by the French.

2nd Gallery - where children's anti-war paintings are on display.

3rd Gallery - where unexploded bombs are exhibited. This is located in a corner in the courtyard of the museum.

Opening Hours:




Location:

 28 Võ Văn Tn, phưng 6, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. For inquiries, you may call (08) 3930 6325.
