- ShannonSuva, Fiji970 contributionsThe museum was very graphic but great in content. The souvenirs sold here are the same everywhere else. No need to preorder tickets as queues aren't a problem. There are issues with toilet cleanliness and for a popular museum this one is on the deteriorated side compared to the rest in Saigon.

- ShannonSuva, Fiji970 contributionsGreat extensive line of artwork on display. The building is in pretty good condition both interior and exterior but expect some exhibition rooms to be much better than others. There wasn't much of a queue area nor a ticket check just a ticket booth. The building isn't handicap friendly. Highly recommended.Written 30 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LauraEngland, UK13 contributionsA really interesting and informative place to visit and learn more about the history of Vietnam.

- JuneSingapore, Singapore42 contributionsA dated museum with interesting artwork. It can get quite hot and stuffy in here due to only having a few air-conditioned rooms. There are also quite a few popular picture spots. I would recommend spending an hour here but its not a must-go in HCM.Written 2 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anna D109 contributions"The Factory" Contemporary Arts Center in Saigon's newly posh Thao Dien district inside one of the bigger meanders of Saigon river, has opened in 2016 and is apparently going strong since, with great catalogues availableWritten 15 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark SSydney, Australia23 contributionsRather than buying a souvenir t-shirt or cap, we decided to buy a piece of oil painting of Hà Nội Old Quarter.
We were approached and served by Le Manh, who took us through the artwork on display and finding the one right for us.
He was not pushy or demanding and even though it took three days to purchase the art, he always greeted us with a smile and warm welcome.
We did look at other galleries that were close by and compared the prices and similar style of paintings, however it came down to how we were treated.
It is going ti look fabulous in our dining room.Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Understand why there is no air conditioning, but was very uncomfortable. Daughter could not stay inside.Written 8 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike12 contributionsSome impressive work in here. We spent about 4 hours wandering around, and loved so much of it. The building is a bit run down, but still impressive. Some good art for sale by local artists toward the rear of the building.Written 22 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- L Travels9 contributionsVisited this museum yesterday - was a delightful way to spend an hr or so away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Something that surprised me was the size of the estate - the building that displays all the ao dai is an airy barn with both Vietnamese & english descriptions, and is amongst a beautiful garden/park setting. Visitors are able to hire ao dai and take photos amongst the gardens - very picturesque with a lake, small boats, small bridges... lots of young people around taking beautiful photos. A little run down but still plenty of rustic charm.
Getting there way easy enough - we took a grab car which was around $300,000 VND from Sofitel Hotel and was driven up to the gate of the museum. On the way back we felt a little more adventurous and took the bus back - was a little tricky as no proper bus stop but with some directions from the staff from the museum we were able to stand in the right place (at the t-intersection on the main road/turn off for the museum) and flag down a bus (no. 88). Much cheaper at $6,000 VND a ticket back to HCMC and great experience seeing local life on a bus.Written 25 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
