Why go
The War Remnants Museum is a war museum in central Ho Chi Minh City; Wikidata records 1975 as its founding year and lists among its Vietnamese names two that translate as exhibition houses of war crimes. Vietnam's national tourism authority describes a three-storey museum of artefacts and graphic photographs, including Nick Ut's Pulitzer Prize-winning picture 'The Terror of War', with decommissioned planes, tanks, bombs and helicopters in the courtyard, and calls the visit a sombre experience. This record is the museum, not the Sơn Mỹ (My Lai) memorial in Quảng Ngãi. Opening times and visitor rules are not stated here; the museum's own site is baotangchungtichchientranh.vn.
