The story
Across three floors, the museum covers the Indochina wars with photographic exhibits including the Requiem collection, sections on Agent Orange's legacy, and a yard of US tanks, jets, and helicopters. Content is graphic; give yourself time to process it.
It is the single most affecting museum in the country — the war told from the Vietnamese perspective, anchored by world-famous photojournalism. Almost every traveler calls it the most important stop in the city.
Local tips
Start on the top floor and work down — the photography collections upstairs are the heart of the museum.
