The museum that went to Ho Chi Minh the next day, walked from Fan Wu Lao Street, the lobby was closed when I went, and I turned bricks in the courtyard. Helicopters, mortars, tanks, etc., have a sense of time. For post-80s who have not experienced war, these military facilities surprised us. Worth a look!

    It's a bit strange that when I visited the museum, there were three couples taking their bridegroom's photos. Maybe that's their preference in Saigon.The museum is located in an old building and there are efforts to present the history of the city.

    According to my own requirements for the history museum, this can only be regarded as a primary school student. The relatively short history of Vietnam is an objective situation. There are no highlights in the selection, cloth exhibition, narrative, etc., which is a pity. You can see the Vietnamese people (for the time being called) and the Tiandou and the earth, and then the anti-Song, anti-Yuan, anti-Ming, anti-Qing, anti-American, and then change it.

    This is a great opportunity to learn more about Vietnam’s history (and culture). Beautiful artifacts, including art, musical instruments, costumes and old (before the Vietnam War) military items. The museum’s complex is surrounded by a central courtyard where you can stroll past one by one. There is a lot of Vietnamese folklore on display. We loved the sculptures here, no air conditioning, a bit hot, but it was still worth a visit. It could be very crowded - it proves its value as a tourist spot. As I explored this fascinating museum full of Vietnamese historical treasures, I felt like Indiana Jones, from its prehistoric, medieval Cham period and colonial history. The artifacts were really amazing and the signage was very good. Highly recommended.

    To visit any place, if not purely for the scenery, you should visit the local museum to learn about the local humanities and historical customs. The Vietnam History Museum in Ho Chi Minh is said to have been built during the French colonial period, but from the outside, it is a traditional Vietnamese building. The History Museum is close to the Saigon River, on the road Nguyen Binh Khiem. Adjacent to the flora and fauna gardens. The history museum is not open on Monday, like most museums, this must remember, don't rush past but can't see it, and the daily opening time from Tuesday to Sunday is from 8 am to 11:30, afternoon 13:00-16:00, still 2 hours to rest at noon, Don't go at noon. The museum is selling tickets, but it is very cheap, the ticket is only 15,000 VND. There is a huge museum floor plan at the door, it is recommended to take it first, so that it will help the visit process for a while. It is said that it is a history museum. In fact, there are not many things on display. The entire museum has only one floor and is divided into different rooms. Each room displays different themes. Personally, I prefer the stone carvings of the Buddha statue, which are very beautiful. It should be reminded that photography should be prohibited in the museum, because several times I raised the camera, there would be staff coming towards me, and then I dare not take pictures, and I have to wait for him to leave before secretly taking pictures. When I contacted the puppet show in Hanoi, the camera was to buy tickets separately, so I guess here too, the camera needs to buy another ticket to get unimpeded. Next to the museum is the flora and fauna garden, and it is also a 5-minute walk from the Saigon River. It is recommended that these three attractions can be arranged to visit together.

    Like many East Asian museums, the museum has a considerable part of its collection of Buddhist artifacts; including Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, China, Japan, and various Buddha statues spanning more than a thousand years, and Haina North and South styles. There are also cultural relics such as traditional costumes and artifacts of various ethnic groups in Vietnam. There is no air-conditioning in the museum, it is very easy to go to sweaty ⋯
