Devastating war history exhibited at Saigon

#bucketlistreboot Address: War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Entrance Fee: 40000 VND/ adult Opening hours: 7:30am to 5pm everyday The War Remnants Museum examines the scars of the Vietnam War through well-arranged exhibits of pictures, documents, and artifacts throughout the years of French colonization, Vietnamese struggle to freedom, Soviet influence and US proxy war. All the weapons, materials and remains have been curated and exhibited with ample information and well preserved. Before I had been to Vietnam, I had very little knowledge about Vietnamese war that spanned in decades before I was born. Out of all the travels I had inside Vietnam, the war remains most eye opening and tragic to me which makes sense if we compare it to today’s situation. Decades of colonization and wars left the country in shambles but Vietnamese have been resilient and built back their country that they’ve opened again to the world. Totally worth the visit if you are in southern part of Vietnam.
