Vietnam Museum of Ethnology on Postcard

"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."

We really enjoyed this museum. The reconstructions of ethnic minority buildings were amazing, so cool to be able to enter and explore them. I wish we'd left more time as we had to miss a few exhibits, I'd suggest at least 2-3 hours!

Quite big museum representing different ethnic groups in Vietnam. Entrance fee is 40,000 VND. Enjoyed the visit to this museum. The traditional houses that we are able to walk around outside the museum. Also, there are two buildings at this museum. It is easy to miss the second building and it was pretty empty, so make sure to check it out. The building next door has items from other Asian cultures. It's a newer building. There is also a restaurant and a souvenir shop. Overall this is a good and very instructive place to find out different cultures of Vietnam..

I really enjoyed my visit to the Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi. The exhibitions are fascinating and provide great insight into the rich cultural diversity of Vietnam’s various ethnic groups. The presentation is well-organized and informative, with authentic artifacts and reconstructions of traditional houses. It’s a rewarding visit that helps you better understand the country’s cultural diversity.

A great museum for tourists wanting to know more about Vietnamese history and culture! The Bronz-drum building is the best. I loved anything to do with clothing there. Entrance fee 40 000 VND per person.

When visiting Hanoi is good to visit this museum as well. It’s not the most impressive museum of the world but you will see items of the everyday life of the more than 50 ethnological tribals living in Vietnam. The museum is indoor but outdoor as well. One and a half hour is more than enough. The entrance fee is very low: €1,50. In the same place there are also 2 coffee shops.

One of the better museums in Hanoi. Good explanation of the ethnic groups making up Vietnam. I particularly liked the outside structures showing how each group built structures and how they lived.

I really enjoyed this museum. It had so many interesting informations and I learnt a lot. Probably with a guided your you can get more insights, but the information available in the descriptions was already a lot. The garden is also incredibly nice with all the different types of houses. Really a must see in Hanoi if you enjoy these types of museums.
