Lonely Planet review

A beautiful French-colonial building and engrossing exhibits make for a winning combo. Archaeological artefacts fill up most of the ground floor, while upstairs concentrates on recorded history up to 1945 (the Museum of the Vietnamese Revolution takes it from there). The life-sized diorama depicting Vietnamese cave-dwellers is tops, but the scale-model battle scenes are also hard to walk away from.
