War Crimes Mesuem / War Remnants Museum
The
sobering War Remnants Museum was established in September 1975 in
Ho Chi Minh City. It contains countless artifacts, photographs and
pictures documenting some of the less heroic activities carried
out by the US army in Vietnam.
Displays illustrate the killing of civilians, the spreading of toxic
defoliant, the torturing of prisoners and the effects of the war
in the north. Planes, tanks, bombs and helicopters are also on display.
Outside the museum are some rooms displaying cultural products
of the Vietnamese culture. Over the last 29 years, over six million
visitors have entered the museum. Nearly one million among them
are from abroad.
