 The War Remnants Museum was voted as one of 10 Most Popular Ho Chi Minh City
tourist attractions by local and foreign visitors in the “Ho Chi Minh
City-100 Excitements” program, launched last year by the HCMC Department of
Culture, Sport and Tourism.
In the first six months of
this
year, three exhibitions including “Vietnam rising 35 years after war,”
“President Ho Chi Minh’s aspiration for peace” and “War and Peace” was
held
at the museum and attracted 227,241 visitors, representing a
year-on-year
increase of 17.33 percent.
Among them, there were
169,248
foreign tourists and 57,993 domestic travelers. The museum’s management
board also organized five mobile displays to serve thousands of
teachers,
students and visitors in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.
The museum received
delegations
from Algeria, Slovakia, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Australia, the UK,
the
US, Germany, Denmark and more.
Opened in September 1975,
the
War Remnants Museum displays shocking evidence of atrocities committed
by
the foreign aggressors during Vietnam’s two wars of national
liberation.
Exhibits include
collection of
American weapons; model of the notorious tiger cages where Vietnamese
revolutionaries were kept; photographs that illustrate the effect of
Agent
Orange and other chemical defoliant sprays, napalm and phosphorus bombs
had
on the Vietnamese people and land.
