If you know a little about the country’s history, you’ll appreciate a trip to the War Remnants Museum. It tells the stories of the brutal effects the war had on the city’s civilians through the voices of the victims and disturbing photographs, including those of the infamous My Lai Massacre. Before you even enter you’ll get to see US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons on display outside. Artefacts from the notorious French and South Vietnamese prisons on Phu Quoc and Con Son Islands can be found here too, including the guillotine and the tiger cages where war prisoners were housed. The ground floor is where you’ll find posters and photographs showing support for the antiwar movement. You’ll also have the rare chance to see some of the experimental weapons used in the war including a flechette - an artillery shell filled with thousands of tiny darts which was at one time a military secret. More photography can be found in the Requiem Exhibition – a collection compiled by legendary war photographer Tim Page, documenting the work of photographers killed during the conflict.
