War Remnants Museum

The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City remains a hymn to peace. It contains American relics from the Vietnam War (guns, tanks, helicopters, planes ...) presented as part of exhibitions denouncing the atrocities which occurred during the war. Obviously, the "invaders" - Chinese, French and Americans - are not spared. With shocking images to support the displays, the atrocities committed between 1950 and 1975 are detailed and discussed. The photos are uncompromising, and the objects are countless. This disturbing and moving experience immerses visitors in the reality of the Vietnam War.
