4 /5 龔振勝: Very small museum maintained by a few dedicated number of people. I dont know how the guided tours are, but Id like to come back and hear how its done. Going around this museum by myself, I can say is its very cluttered. What that means is its a treasure trove of historical artifacts, but if someone isnt in-tune with any of the history, and there are no tour guides, its hard for outsiders to truly get deep with what the struggles were. As of right now, if no one is directly connected with this period of history, most of these things might look tacky. However, if they bring in a professional to help weave an overall story from start to finish, I think itll help when you walk alone. Lets say with all the uniform items that are there, they should consult with the donors who gave them as well as retired US service members who served during that time. Because they can give you an idea of why those uniforms were the way they were, and how the US put its influence on them, so anyone joining the military will know, "Oh this is what were fighting for." They had a section at the back with a bunch of DVDs, that I didnt know if they were offering for free, or if we had to pay and how much. But one of them, "The Last Days of SaiGon" was a really good documentary I watched together with my Mom, and she almost let some tiers come out at certain points. Overall though, I got a good sense of everything, and Im glad I came. I still think they could do a better job with having information on-site. Some of the QR codes didnt work immediately, because I had bad data connection, but Im sure Im not the only one.
