Ho Chi Minh Museum Tours

The Ho Chi Minh Museum honors the late former leader of Vietnam: a man famous for leading his country’s revolutionary struggle against foreign powers. Inside, you’ll find exhibits that detail Ho Chi Minh’s early upbringing; his travels across the globe to fight colonial powers; and a collection of his certificates and medals.

 

 Designed as a tool to preserve Ho Chi Minh’s legacy, the museum features intimate photographs of Ho Chi Minh, as well as contemporary art pieces inspired by his leadership. As a result, some travelers say the exhibits read like communist propaganda. In nearly all of the major cities in Vietnam, you’ll find a Ho Chi Minh Museum; this museum reveals the connection between the leader and Hue, in which he lived for almost 10 years.

 

 

Located on Le Loi Street, not far from the National School and close to the banks of the Perfume River, the Ho Chi Minh Museum is easily reachable by taxi, bike, or scooter.

 

The museum is open Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday, 7:30am to 11:30am and 1:30pm to 4:30pm. It’s likely you’ll have the museum all to yourself, no matter what time of day or year you choose to visit.

 

With its UNESCO-listed Citadel and imperial heritage, Hue is a paradise for history buffs. Museums are plentiful, so if you want to continue learning about Vietnam’s past, a visit to the Royal Antiquities Museum and the Hue Provincial Museum come highly recommended.
