The story behind the museum
‘War Remnants Museum’ is not how it was used to be called at the beginning. It was the ‘Exhibition House for the US and Puppet Crimes. But, in the ’90s America and Vietnam started having smooth relations with each other, and the name had to change as a result.

Outside the building, you’ll come across some massive military hardware. Most of them belonged to the Americans. The F-5A fighter and the UH-1 attract everyone who comes to see the exhibits here.
Things to see – inside the museum
