About

A museum of Vietnamese history from prehistory to the Nguyễn dynasty, in an Indochinese-style building next to the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden.

Why go

The galleries follow a timeline, with added sections on southern and Asian culture, so one visit is enough to grasp the flow of history. The tiled-roof Indochinese building is also very beautiful.

Good to know

Closed on Mondays and closed for lunch from 11:30 to 13:00. If you arrive close to the lunch break, you will be asked to leave.
