Ho Chi Minh City: A Museum Both Haunting and Beautiful
I was instantly drawn to the romantic facade of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts. But after doing some digging, I discovered that it's a place that chronicles the suffering of war, the hopes, and the bravery of the Vietnamese people and their yearning for peace. Perhaps it's precisely because of these past wounds that this French colonial building feels so both broken and beautifully romantic.
Visiting the Museum

It is a place of memory and reflection.
