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

This place really surprised me - not just the main museum, but around the back they had examples of the different types of traditional houses, etc., which was very interesting and fun. Highly...

Start outdoors to visit the ethnic homes. A must-see in VN.

Well curated exhibits and lovely grounds. Vietnam’s numerous and varied ethnic tribes are interestingly represented. The unique lodgings and structures outdoors reveal astonishing handiwork, as do even domestic implements and garments. Everything is also authentic which adds additional pedigree. Cultural behavior is displayed with insight and engagement. Witness the entertaining weekly water puppet show if possible. A bonus performance. Anyone living in or visiting Hanoi should absolutely investigate this fascinating museum.
