The War Remnants Museum has great historical significance as a testament to the cruel reality of the Second Indochina War and its profound effects on the Vietnamese people. The exhibition here, which includes disturbing photographs of the atrocities of war, vividly depicts the suffering endured by the Vietnamese people, with many images coming from US sources. The collection of posters and images on the ground floor demonstrating international anti-war support provides a counterpoint to the horrors depicted on the upper floors. With exhibits on the widespread destruction caused by napalm and the devastating effects of Agent Orange, the museum helps visitors confront the harsh realities of war. The inclusion of experimental weapons and the Requiem Exhibition, commemorating the photographers who died in the conflict, further enhance the museum's historical significance.
