Designed as a museum and a research center, it opened to the public in 1997 and boasts more than 15,000 exhibition pieces.

An eye opener to the diversity of Vietnam and some important historical events. Probably about 3 hours is required to get an understanding.

It was very interesting place. Entrance fee is 40,000D reasonable price. Mostly cool inside and you can see a lot of Vietnam's tribes life style. Also, you can get experience about traditional village area.

It was great to be back for long periods. I came a bit late about 3:30 afternoon and spend most of my time in the main museum. After that, I got out and experience the architectural gardens (this was a great experience 😩😍) except time was running out. I don't have the chance to get into the kite? towel. Hope to come back to visit next time with much more time!!!
