Museum or the Vietnamese Revolution

The Vietnamese are a proud people and they love to show that. In the Museum for the Vietnamese revolution, for instance. The exploratory museum shows an extremely detailed image of the freedom fights against firstly the French and later the Americans. The old photographs, objects and propaganda material smell like war and resistance. A particularly special item is a painting painted with blood.
