Con Dao Museum

The Con Dao Museum was once the home of the island's governors and was converted into a museum in 1975 after the Viet Cong liberated the island. The museum is a good starting point to learn about the ‘prison island’ history. There are photos and artwork showing prisoners’ conditions in those days as well as interesting lists of official French and U.S. policies toward prisoners.
