Bummer! Ol’ Uncle Ho’s 40 year old mummy was closed to the public today. As a runner-up excursion we made our way to the Ho Chi Minh museum.
Oh. Great. Sweet.
Well to our great surprise, it was actually kind of sweet, but not for its subject matter, which was of course not ground breaking. Heaping spoonfuls of propaganda were fed to us on the first floor. Yes, yes, yes. Ho Chi Minh was ab fab.
The happy surprise met us on the second floor. Being a museum nerd – I’ve visited a fair share of them (I’ve even studied museology in school – but don’t tell anyone, it’s embarrassing). The exhibits we walked through on the second floor of the museum were very different from any I’ve seen to date.
Unlike the hang-on-a-wall-with-a-plaque-next-to-it approach (yes, that’s a technical term), the exhibition designer executed his job with artistic flare. Ideas were expressed in 3-D interactive exhibits which were works of art themselves. Though I couldn’t agree with some of the ideas expressed, their execution was worth the visit.
