Vietnam Museum of Ethnology

This museum was very informative and fun! You can learn a lot about Vietnam and its people and traditions. It had a great collection of clothing, artifacts, videos, and more to keep visitors interested. There are two different parts of the museum: the indoor and outdoor. The indoor part is like any other typical museum. The outdoor part displayed different houses used by different indigenous groups in Vietnam. Anyone can go into the houses, but some houses are harder to get into since you have to climb up into them! I recommend this museum to anyone who wants to learn more about the country!

It's a good place for family. Children can learn about different types of people in Vietnam. There are some house models that allow children to climb. The houses are outside so it is suitable for young children to explore.If not family, people who love history or want to know more about history are encouraged to go.

Interesting museum with lots of amazing artifacts to learn more about 50+ minority groups in Vietnam. Make sure to look around the outside for the actual houses. If you are lucky you might be able to catch the water puppet show!

this is really great place to visit when you travel in Vietnam. we had it in our travel plan organised by Bonjour Indochine Tours (www.bonjourindochine.com) and we found it most interesting place in city.

This was my favorite stop on our tour of Hanoi. The museum has great displays inside the main building which show you how Vietnamese from around the country work, live, celebrate, etc. There are videos, photos and displays to really make it come to life and even the kids enjoyed it. Even better, they have an open-air museum outside with several different types of traditional houses built on the museum grounds. It was fascinating to see them and walk through them. If you go to only one museum in Hanoi, make it this one.
