Traveler reviews
A. H.
★★★★★a year agoOne of the best museums in the city. The environment is decorated phenomenally, view of the river port and Landmark 81. Entrance fee 10k vnd. Here you can learn everything about the creation and history of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the father of the motherland Ho Chi Minh. Every recommendation

★★★★★Edited a year agoI spent 1/2 hour walking around the well-kept grounds and inside the museum. Ticket price is 10K VND (about 40 cents US). There are many pictures and documents detailing Ho Chi Minh's life. The displays are in good shape and many are in Vietnamese and English. The historical information is a great read. On the second floor there is a wide balcony that wraps around the building and presents great photo-ops. There are places to sit and relax in the quiet garden on the right as you enter. If you're in the area this is definitely worth stopping by for a history lesson and some great pix.
