Located in District 3, the War Remnants Museum is a must-go place to learn Vietnamese history. It has heartbreaking exhibitions related to Vietnam War involving the French and American colonialists.

The museum was opened in 1975 as “The House for Displaying War Crimes of American Imperialism and the Puppet Government,” but then got its name changed in 1993 after going under changes and renovations.

It has traumatizing pictures of Agent Orange, napalm, phosphorus bombs, the My Lai massacre, etc. The exhibition is haunting and shocking, so you should prepare mentally before visiting this museum.
