Admission fee, though I can't remember exactly how much, I know was not pricey and gives you access to the artworks housed in 2 buildings. There's lots to see and you can spend a good couple of hours here, especially if you like taking photos. There are photo opportunities aplenty from the buildings' architecture, miles of tiles (between the 2... More

We went when the top floor was closed which is where all of the ancient stuff is. There was a lot of war art which, after having been to the war remnants museum, was nothing of note. Hot day and no air-conditioning, with a minimal amount of fans blowing. There really wasn't anything outstanding or even noteworthy except for two... More

I really enjoyed the art here, some of it may have been reproductions but nonetheless it personally interested me very much. The museum is not the Louvre so don't expect high tech AC or personal audio players, and yes it's hot but you're in Saigon not New York. And if you're shocked that a socialist country that has been invaded... More

Too many reviews in this city start off with some variation of “It was a great old French building, but blab la and bla. The entry fee is about $1.00 and when I attended it was terrible hot. There were a couple of wimpy fans blowing about the same old stale air but still hot and humid. It might have... More

I returned to visit this museum during a week day's lunchtime. The area on the ground floor, which is now empty, is not properly closed, so I found myself walking all the way through empty rooms to a toilet, where a woman (from the museum) had just had a cigerette. A huge part of this museum is now, I don't... More

Some interesting exhibits, and a fascinating building. But felt like it hadn't been updated since the 1970's More

Located in an old mansion that belonged to Chinese merchant, the museum has a decent collection of folk, period and modern art works. No air-con and some times dim lit, it is different than the fancy western museums, but it has character and worth a trip. Very conveniently located in Dist 1, very cheap to get in and spend an...

Much enjoyed the displays at the Fine Art Museum - quite a few works depicting the American/Vietnam War, some are somewhat propagandistic but some transcend this and are great works of art in their own right. Also some great examples of lacquer paintings and a nice collection of modern art, all housed in a big former residence. More

Two buildings full of arts, entrance fee is very minimal but if you need more time and it is past 5 pm, you can still use the ticket for the next day. Different crafts to see from paintings to statues. Nice work of art of Vietnamese people/students. More
