History
Operated by the Vietnamese government, an earlier version of this museum opened on September 4, 1975, as the Exhibition House for US and Puppet Crimes (Vietnamese: Nhà trưng bày tội ác Mỹ-ngụy). It was located in the former United States Information Agency building. The exhibition was not the first of its kind for the North Vietnamese side, but rather followed a tradition of such exhibitions exposing war crimes, first those of the French and then those of the Americans, who had operated in the country as early as 1954.
If you can't play the video, you can watch it from here.
In 1990, the name was changed to Exhibition House for Crimes of War and Aggression (Nhà trưng bày tội ác chiến tranh xâm lược), dropping both "U.S." and "Puppet." In 1995, following the normalization of diplomatic relations with the United States and end of the US embargo a year before, the references to "war crimes" and "aggression" were dropped from the museum's title as well; it became the War Remnants Museum.

It is amazing how destructive we can become human beings, killing each other in absurd wars. I really liked your video friend a hug!

When I went there from Hong Kong in 1995, a couple months after Vietnam opened to US passport holders, the museum was called "The American War Atrocities Museum" Shortly after, the name was changed to make it more tourist friendly. From travel vlog videos I have seen since, Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) no longer resembles what it looked like in 1995. From 1972 to 1995 time had stood still. In 1995 Vietnam didn't even have a functional international airline - they rented unmarked aircraft from Cathay Pacific. A bunch of guys went there for a long weekend for a stag party out of Hong Kong. They got pretty legless on the flight over and had Groucho Marx glasses/nose/mustaches on forgetting to take them off. The immigration guys, probably under orders to not harass money loaded tourists, could not bring themselves to tell them to take the disguises off as they went thru Immigration. Back then the going rate to rent a pedi-cab for the full day was $5. Most were former SVA that were under job restriction permits. Outside the hotel at night, the drinking and drunk tourists would have pedi-cab races.The pedi-cab guys could earn in a one minute race what they would otherwise earn in an entire day. I had to watch your video on YouTube as it would not launch here, but I leave the comment here. The museum used to have a large collection of every type of bomb and shell dropped during the war just outside the entrance to the indoor part. It included an unexploded "daisy cutter" bomb (BLU-82B), I didn't see that in your video. Thanks for the video.
