This museum mostly contains pictures and objects relating to President Ho Chi Minh. It is from this area that 21-year-old Ho Chi Minh set sail on a French ship named Admiral Latouche Treville in June 1911. The Dragon House Wharf, originally called Nha Rong, was a French shipping company, built in 1862. The first ship left Nha Rong in November 1862. In September 1979, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City chose Nha Rong as Ho Chi Minh Museum–Dragon House Wharf.
