War Remnants Museum

One of the most popular museums in Vietnam is the War Remnants Museum, which features horrific exhibits on the horrors of war in this war-torn country.

Although some of the exhibits at the museum are related to the first Indochina War with French colonialists, the museum's primary focus is the Vietnam War. The majority of the exhibits consist of photographic images, some of which are heartbreaking, particularly the graphic pictures of young Agent Orange victims. A guillotine and the "tiger cages" used for Viet Cong prisoners are among the artifacts on exhibit. A remarkable display of the work of war photographers from both sides who died during the battles is also featured in the museum.
