Vietnamese Women's Museum

Outstanding museum dedicated to women's contribution to the life, society, culture, economy and war effort in Vietnam. Properly structured across 3 floors, it is a lovely display of objects interspersed with detailed captions and explainer write-ups. The audio-guide is a must because it is very well curated in alignment with he exhibits and has more context to offer than what you just see in front of you. It is difficult to point out a favorite gallery because each one is better than the other - though the war effort gallery was quite an emotional journey to go through. All objects and writings curated beautifully.

We arrived at opening time. You work your way through three floors of displays broken up into subjects and themes. Very well laid out with signs explaining everything. I did come across one section where the door was closed and the room was dark, but looking through the glass of the door it looked like something was inside. I opened the door and the lights came on. It was a whole area that I would have missed if I hadn't tried the door. Everything in the museum was interesting but my favorites were the clothing. Unique, colorful, and beautiful. If you are looking for something relaxing, or need to get out of the heat or rain, and would like to learn something at the same time, this is a good place to visit.

One of the fascinating place to get an idea about the traditional dresses of Vietnam People. Though of long back styles, these fits well to modern ethnic wear. The bridal sections are colourful & awesome. One has to spend at least 2 hours for a leisure go around. A well curated - not to miss museum

Hands down one of the best museums I've been to. There are three floors of educational content that really take you through the expectations, roles, and experiences of women in Vietnamese culture and history, and you will feel moved by many of the displays. The second floor, which was about women's role in war, was especially informative and interesting. I also highly recommend getting the audio-guided tour if you want the full experience - it's only 40k dong and they have it in Vietnamese, English, Chinese, Korean, and French. The whole guided audio tour will take about an hour and a half and will tell you about all of the displays you see. I know they also have an option of a human guide, but I think the audio guide was very, very detailed. I'd do it again if I were back in Hanoi. Must-see to really get a feel of the history of Vietnam, learn how women contribute to the people's victory during the Vietnam war, and of course also learn about family life and childbirth in the country.

Such a unique and educational experience with tons of engaging knowledge and forms of media! My major criticism about this place is I would’ve loved to have one of these posters or artwork pieces as a postcard to take home. Instead, the gift shop was full of AI art that discouraged me from buying much from there. I think changing that inventory would make it a top tier museum

I didn’t expect this museum to move me the way it did. The Vietnamese Women’s Museum is a powerful, honest tribute to women in Vietnam. Each floor covers a different theme: from motherhood and birth rituals to marriage customs and traditional clothing from minority groups. The detail is incredible, and you really feel the meaning behind these traditions. What hit me the most was the Women in History floor. The personal stories, artifacts, and diaries from women who were older, younger, or even my age were incredibly powerful. They also offer an audio tour, which I highly recommend it adds depth and extra context that really enriches the experience.

Superb! Great photos and real life stories of the remarkable women in Vietnam…go, see it is truly wonderful and thought provoking! We left with a huge respect for Vietnamese women of the past, present and future. We bought tickets at the door …v reasonable at 40,000 each!
