Was on an emotional rollercoaster. Need more than an hour here, like 2 or more to look at the pictures, read and absorb, and look at the artillery and remnants. There are several sections and take your time through each. You will definitely leave emotionally numb yet applauding the nation and the support it enjoyed during its struggles.....

It was a profound experience. It is not for the faint of heart as there are many graphic pictures, that depict the awful reality that was the war. I would be mindful about brining young children, however there is a play room up stairs for them. Do not miss this when you are in HCMC. It is very sad but a must see.

If you really want to immerse yourself in here, and read everything. All...
