If you are lucky enough to travel around Vietnam regularly, to reach all 54 ethnic groups and experience their unique culture firsthand, visiting the Museum of Ethnology is a waste of time. But for most of us, it is a wonderful experience. The museum itself has an information bulletin board with English instructions, but you can either get an English guide or use an audio guide. Religion, culture and lifestyle are all covered, but we all love the "authentic" house on the first floor of the museum, including the Long House, the Dry House and everything between them. It is a wonderful half-day tour.
