What is shown at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City?

At the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, shocking evidence of atrocities and crimes committed by the US army during the Vietnam War is displayed. The exhibition is dedicated to the suffering of both Vietnamese soldiers and civilians.

What exactly you will see:

• Photographs and documents: The main part of the museum consists of three floors with hundreds of photographs capturing the aftermath of napalm bombings, victims of chemical warfare (the famous "Agent Orange"), executions, and torture. Many images are so heavy that they leave visitors deeply shocked.
• Torture instruments and prison cells: In a separate pavilion, models of torture instruments, such as the famous "tiger cage," and reconstructions of prison cells where Vietnamese patriots were held are presented.
• Military equipment outdoors: On the museum grounds, American military equipment—tanks, helicopters, aircraft, and artillery pieces—is exhibited.
• Consequences of chemical warfare: A separate section is dedicated to the victims of the defoliant "Agent Orange," with photographs of people with congenital deformities and an explanation of the long-term consequences for the environment and health.

The museum serves an important memorial and educational function, showing the war from the perspective of the Vietnamese people. Originally, it was called the "Museum of US and Puppet Crimes." Visiting will definitely leave a strong impression, but be prepared for heavy emotions.
