What Do You Know About War Remnants Museum In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam?

The history of War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City
During the Nguyen Dynasty, the current location of the War Remnants Museum was the building of Khai Tuong Pagoda. By the time the French invaded Vietnam, the temple was completely demolished by the French government to replace it as a mansion. To be more specific, in 1880, the colonial authorities had demolished the temple.
The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
In the 1930s, the War Remnants Museum was a lawyer's office and was hired by Dr. Henriette Bui as a gynecologist and obstetrician in 1940. Later, the French government requisitioned the mansion and then transferred it to the Saigon University Institute as the headquarters for the Saigon Medical University in 1947.
Only after 1975, when the Vietnamese country was liberated from the hands of the American imperialists, this place became a museum, recording historical events, war traces or displaying artifacts related to the fight against the aggressors.
This is where many valuable historical relics are displayed
This museum was established on September 4, 1975, with the name “American-Vietnamese puppet exhibit gallery”. On November 10, 1990, the place was changed to “Gallery of war crimes of aggression”. On July 4, 1995 (one week before US President Bill Clinton announced the normalization of diplomatic relations with Vietnam), this museum was renamed the “War Remnants Museum” and has been kept like that until nowadays.

Excellent experience
It was an experience, that you will never forget, how it would have been during the war, with no light, food and much air and space. If you are able it is definitely worth going in the tunnel. It is not very long and a little bit of light and air. We will come back Cu Chi Tunnels again
