Ein wunderbares Museum mit sehr schönem Garten.
Die Geschichte von Ho Chi Min City wird an Hand von Exponaten und plastischen Szenen aus dem Alltagsleben dargestellt.
Wegen der pompösen Räume und Säle dient es als Fotokulisse für Fotografen und Brautpaare.

This building was previously a palace. The museum is very informative about the city of Ho Chi Minh City- its history, geography, industrial growth, all are covered here.
It also has a collection of a lot of artifacts and painting and one of the most interesting area in the building was an underground bunker. The building looks like a mini place and a lot of newly engaged were seen here taking their wedding photos. I guess the place is Instagram worthy!
