Housed in a carefully preserved neoclassical mansion designed by Alfred Foulhoux in the late 1880s, once known as Gia Long Palace, the museum traces Saigon's story across nine themed spaces, from archaeology and old maps to the city's multi-ethnic culture. Its corridors and grand staircase are a favourite photo backdrop. Open daily 8:00–17:00; tickets 30,000 VND, plus 20,000 VND for professional cameras.
