"Anthropologists will especially enjoy the Museum of Ethnology that explores the 54 officially recognized ethnic peoples of Vietnam. Exhibits include a brief primer on each group and information about their folkways; in the museum’s 10 acres of grounds, there are additionally replicas of dwellings that visitors can enter. For those with an interest in textiles, the varied designs and techniques of Vietnam’s different ethnicities will be fascinating. There are also water-puppetry performances on weekends."

Really interesting museum full of beautiful clothes, objects and items from Vietnam's many ethnic groups. Labels in English and french as well as Vietnamese were clear and informative and the exhibits very well laid out. The highlight is the garden full of indigenous houses and buildings. Well worth the trip out from the centre!

Love this place! Very informational on the cultural practices and rituals of different ethnic groups. Love to see all the artifacts and house models. The experience climbing into different stilt houses was also memorable. Very well organized and enjoyable ! Highly Recommended !

Very interesting. I did not know there were so many ethnic people in Vietnam. All with their own language and culture. It’s worth to visit.

Wow this place caught me off guard. Learned so much about ancient building techniques. It's a living history type outdoor space, where full scale village homes are displayed. You can walk into these homes and gain great insight into how different indigenous people built their homes and conducted home life. If low on time, skip the initial craft exhibit area and go straight out back to the homes. Must visit!

Very fascinating and a gentle spacious quiet antidote to the busy city. It will be an invitation to explore more of Vietnam, especially the beautiful north.

Enjoyed the museum! The inside can be a little repetitive but the outside is beautiful and very beautifully done. It felt very interactive since you’re able to walk in the houses and explore. The tickets are 40k per person. Well worth it. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was very quiet.

Top tier museum. The inside was extremely informative and interesting but by far the best part was the outside area. We loved looking around all the different traditional houses. Such a good way to display different cultures. Highly recommend!

If you have some time in Hanoi, this is a great place to learn more about Vietnamese culture. 🎟️ Ticket prices: 40k VND for adults (over 18) and 20k VND for children. ⏱️ The visit usually takes around 1–2 hours. Inside, the museum has AC which makes it very comfortable, and outside you can explore beautiful traditional houses. You can also choose to watch a water puppet show for an additional 50k VND. There’s also a nice café near the exit where you can relax after your visit. Highly recommended for families and anyone interested in local traditions!
