War Remnant Museum - Ho Chi Minh City, former Saigon (Click)

I'm not going to go into details about this distressing compendium of the horrors of war.  It is very biaised and the Americans are blamed for their cruelty. But it is a one-sided exhibition, because Viet Congs - the northern Vietnamese who defeated the Americans - committed a lot of cruelty towards the southern Vietnamese and their enemies as well .  But this is propaganda.

The War Remnants Museum was opened to the public on September 4, 1975 – less than 5 months after the fall of South Vietnam… The museum was formerly known as the “Museum of American War Crimes”, but with the normalization of relations with the United States, the name was changed to its current name in 1993. The museum is a major tourist attraction and has more than 400000 visitors per year.

The museum contains exhibitions related to the American phase of the Vietnam War. The exhibitions are housed in several buildings and the themes are: “Historical Truths”, “Requiem” - (a photo collection taken by war reporters killed during the Vietnam War), “Vestiges of War Crimes”, “Imprisonment System” - (including a model of the Tiger Cages), “Vietnam – War and Peace” - (a photo collection), “International Support”, “War and Peace” - (a collection of children's paintings) and in the museum yard you’ll find an exhibition of weapon used in the Vietnam War (tanks, planes, missiles, helicopters and more).

It is not a museum for everyone – gruesome photos of the My Lai massacre and of victims of napalm bombs and Agent Orange…
 
 

The "Requiem" photo exhibition was really very interesting and moving.  Some 135 photographers - Americans, French, Japane, Australians among others - were killed.
