Opened in 1975, just a few months after the liberation, the War Remnants Museum is one of the most popular attractions in the city. Laid out in 8 themed rooms are different aspects of the war from imprisonment, to chemical warfare and military might.
In the grounds there are military equipment, weaponry and aircraft on display including fighter planes, helicopters and tanks.
Some of the exhibits are shockingly gruesome, explicit photos and prisoner cages detail a war-torn history. This is the story of the Vietnam War told from the other side which mixes the atrocities of war with the reality of military hardware.

This is a must see tour on your first day! Not just for the highlights taken to but the opportunity to ask lots of questions of your guide to plan the rest of your visit. Our guide, Ming, was absolutely fantastic and gauging by the photos uploaded he is a common guide used - you will really enjoy this tour if lucky enough to have him too. HCM can be quite claustrophobic for children and spouses on the first day, but have a great tour guide really made for a settling in and really enjoyable day. Great food too! Thanks Ming

Great and Duong the guide was so informative. The day was fantastic. Duong took us to a factory that sold beautiful art work. The makers were victims of agent orange and wow their works were out of this world. By supporting this factory brought us closer to the people. They were just wonderful. Really enjoyed the day!!!

Located in District 3 but still relatively central; walkable from Ben Thanh market - only a couple of blocks behind the Reunification Palace.
This exhibition shows some of the true horrors of the Vietnam War, a one-sided account perhaps but still captivating and poignant.
