Saigon War Remnants Museum -Vietnam

This was first opened just after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.
It was originally called the ‘Museum of American War Crimes’.


Quite a confronting place.

The effect of war on both the combatants and civilians is brutally displayed.
I left with a feeling of intense sadness.



For war memorabilia enthuasists there is lots to see ... helicopters, tanks, fighter aircraft.. etc









But the photos upstairs in the building tell another story... the human cost
