War Remnants Museum, Ho Chi Minh City

For all visitors to Ho Chi Minh city, this museum is an absolute must. Forget your politics. The museum is housed in an old American administration building, it has several different sections. These contain photo's and exhibits (loose translation), of the American/Vietnam war. The museum changes frequently as more exhibits are displayed and furthe development occurs. It is shocking yet compelling. Many argue that it does not give a true reflection of both sides, but nor should it. It is not a museum to honour the American involvement in a foreign war. It is a reminder however of the horrors of that war and the weapons and chemicals used. Don't go just before lunch as some exhibits may be found offensive. When you do go, keep an open mind, try not to let your own beliefs spoil an interesting visit.
