HO CHI MINH - visit the site of Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and museum

Today we visited the site of Ho-Chi-Minh's Mausoleum and the Ho-Chi-Minh museum.
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Ba Dinh Sqaure is the final resting place of Ho Chi Minh, the most iconic leader of Vietnam, known to his people as ‘Uncle Ho’. His body is preserved here in a glass case (against his wishes). Started in 1973, the construction of the mausoleum was inspired by Lenin's mausoleum in Russia and was first open to the public in 1975. Security is tight and visitors must dress with respect (no shorts, sleeveless shirts and miniskirts) and everyone has to deposit their bags and cameras before getting in. Visitors are not allowed to stop as the queue is constant. Opening hours are generally 7.30am to 10.30am (closed Friday & Monday), but best to check as can be closed at other times too. Entry is free.
Hi Chi Minh Museum is conveniently located in the Ho Chi Minh complex in Ba Dinh Square. The whole museum is a description of Ho Chi Minh’s life, with 8 chronological topics. The first one, from 1890 to 1910 modelled after his upbringing, hometown and youth. The second topic concerns the next ten years where Ho Chi Minh travelled the world to find out a way to rescue the country from colonialism. The next three topics, covering 1920-1945, depict how Ho Chi Minh had translated the influence of Marxism and Leninism into founding Vietnamese Communist party and striving for national independence. Exhibits 6-7 cover Ho Chi Minh's life from 1945 until his death in 1969. The final grouping of exhibits primarily focus on his status as a national hero and the finer details of his political life. The museum is a collection of artifacts, miniatures and various gifts gathered nationally and internationally. There are also descriptions written in English and France, as well as guided tours on request.
Opening hours are 8:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 16:30 - entry fee 40,000 VND ($2.60 AUD)

This magazine emphasized: "With the victory (Dien Bien Phu), Mr. Ho Chi Minh's prestige reached new heights in Asia. Nationalists in many countries, although they were anti-communist, also cannot help but be proud of the feat of an Asian country's army defeating those who were their "boss" from Europe to... Under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, Viet Minh forces had the most effective jungle fighting army in Southeast Asia, had the most talented general in Southeast Asia, Vo Nguyen Giap, had the most solid political organization led by Ho Chi Minh, and had the best qualifications. adept leadership".
