War Remnants Museum

We are having some difficulty describing the museum that documents "The American War" so we'll quote the Lonely Planet: "Documenting the atrocities of war, the War Remnants Museum is unique, brutal and an essential stop. On display are retired artillery pieces, a model of the tiger cages used to house VC prisoners, and an array of photographs of the victims of war - those who suffered torture as well as those who were born with birth defects caused by the use of defoliants. The exhibits are labeled in Vietnamese, English and Chinese, but are rather propagandist in tone."

Here are a few photos from the museum...

The museum is full of photos and chronicles the events of the war and many of the subsequent effects of war.
