It remembers the late leader’s visit to the city and has a display of photos and documents related to his time in Hue. Additionally, there are a few of Ho Chi Minh’s personal artefacts on display too. In my opinion, this is only really worth a visit if you have ample time in the city; if time is short, save the museums for a different destination in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh Museum
7 Lê Lợi Although small, the lesser-visited Ho Chi Minh Museum is a local cultural landmark. It remembers the late leader’s visit to the city and has a display of photos and documents related to his time in Hue. Additionally, there are a few of Ho Chi Minh’s personal artefacts on display too. In my opinion, this is only really worth a visit if you have ample time in the city; if time is short, save the museums for a different destination in Vietnam.
