The Ho Chi Minh Museum are two of the places one must go to when in Hanoi. They are about 10 minutes away by car/taxi from the Hoan Kiem Lake area, Ly Thung Kiet and Hai Ba Trung Sts., where the hotels are mostly located.
The HCM Museum has plenty to offer in terms of information about the man and his philosophy. There are posters and info binders for visitors to read at the 2nd and 3rd floor. There are also a lot of stuff from the past, like old rifles, armaments and even a table and chairs used by HCM back in the days for meetings. An old pen he used to sign documents is in a glass box atop the table.
There is also a large bust of the man for everyone to take pictures and videos of. No limits imposed on cameras and videocams so press those buttons away.
Before you exit the building there is a souvenir shop to the right, where you could find books and VCDs about Uncle Ho. Other items not related to HCM are also available.
