What to do and see in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: The Best Art Museums

May 19, 2021 Velvet Mowry

Vietnam's bustling largest city sets the cultural and economic pace for the country. The former Saigon boasts charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards, usually thronged and choked with traffic. Taxis are an option for seeing the sprawling city. The War Remnants Museum shows the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes. Don't miss the impressive Jade Emperor Pagoda. Go to the frenetic Ben Thanh Market for food, flowers or frogs. Tour through the Mekong Delta, past rice paddies and houseboats.

We a lot of pictures, the proposed poses was a big help ????. Our whatsapp profiles pics were updated ????. We really enjoyed the experience. I would really recommend a visit for a couple of hours of just fun, and take the kids.

If you love costume, design and fashion this niche museum is the place for you. Ao Dai means "long dress". The pieces on exhibit are exquisite and feature silks and brocades in decorative patterns, embellised in beaded motifs or hand paintings by artists.The exhibition showcases the evolution of the Ao Dai from its traditional heritage to contemporary culture. Costume is couture.
