War Remnants Museum, HCMC
The War Remnants Museum makes for an absorbing visit. Besides the obvious war materiel in front of the main building, there are rooms on several floors dedicated to a chronological record of how the wars unfolded – the French War and the American War as they are known locally. Over the years the museum has undergone a significant upgrade, not just the fabric of the building but also the display cases and exhibition notes next to them. When I first visited in the 90s it was all rather a mishmash, now you are taken on a professional tour, with or without an audio guide. For folks of a certain age, this is a ‘must see’. Of any age, probably, judging by the people milling round.
