Croatia
This museum was shockingly fantastic and is totally worth the visit. It features expressionistic paintings by untrained Croatian peasant artists between the 1930s-1980s. Evidently in the 19th century the art world began embracing self-trained artists.

Ronda is where modern bullfighting was born and this was the first purpose built ring (before that fights were using conducted in the main plazas. Even if you are morally opposed to the "sport" its part of Spain and the sight here is fascinating. There is an interesting museum and then you can wander out into he ring and salute your 5,000 fans.

The second-largest art museum in Vietnam (after the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts in Hanoi), the Hồ Chí Minh City Museum of Fine Arts isn't that impressive. It's located in a beautiful building designed by a French architect, but the collection isn't hugely interesting.
Vietnam
Museum about the history of the Vietnam War. Outside the museum is a large collection of American military power: tanks, artillery, helicopters, and jets. The inside is mostly photos, with captions, as well as some short written accounts. Most of the exhibits depict atrocities committed by the American military or South Vietnamese army.

Initially created by communist forces fighting the French in the 1940s, the Cu Chi tunnels were expanded to a network of some 150 miles during the Vietnam war. Viet Cong soldiers used them as shelters, transportation and communications routes, hospitals, and food and weapons caches. Today, the tunnels are the site of a museum.
