The Ho Chi Minh museum is frankly bizarre.
A mess of interpretative art, objects from Uncle Ho's life, letters and speeches devoid of context, and the odd detour into obliquely-related world events, this museum is like walking into a Picasso and finally, gratefully, stumbling out with a re-arranged brain and no sure knowledge of which side of your body the sky is supposed to be nearest.
If you want to learn about Ho Chi Minh, this is not actually the place as it verges on the incomprehensible. If you want to take a walk through someone else's brain and wonder at the sheer randomness within - then enter and be amazed.
