Ho Chi Minh City Museum

The museum occupies two floors of the building representing some three hundred years of the city's history. Its original name, the Revolutionary Museum, is a more accurate description of what you can expect to see displayed, which includes old maps and pictures of Saigon under the French. The museum also exhibits relics of Vietnam's natural history also with cultural objects such as ethnic wedding costumes and local currency.

The upper floor of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum showcases Vietnam's fight against colonialism. There are weapons and bombs, as well as letters written by the soldiers and political manifestos.

On display in the grounds of the museum are a Huey helicopter, a jet fighter and an American-built tank.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
