The Museum of Ethnology in Vietnam offers an enriching cultural experience, showcasing the country's diverse ethnic groups with captivating exhibits. Additionally, witnessing Ho Chi Minh's preserved body provides a unique historical perspective, allowing visitors to connect with Vietnam's past and appreciate its rich heritage. A truly enlightening and memorable visit.
Big museum of different ethnic groups in Vietnam. A lot of samples from different groups showcasing the unique styles and traditions of each group. Outside has full scale traditional buildings demonstrating communal buildings or regular homes and graves of different groups.
There's also a small part showcasing other countries and cultures in South East Asia, Korea and even Africa.

We went a the end of the morning. It was pretty busy because they have some animation for children. So a lot of family was there. But a lot of things to see and traditional food as well. The museum is nice a lot of explain in Vietnamese, English, and French and all the old houses around was beautiful. It's a good place to understand better the country.
Highly recommend for anyone interested in the diverse ethnic heritage of Vietnam. The nicely done displays are well labeled and clearly explained. A wide range of Vietnam's ethnic groups are represented and described in detail. The native home displays really give you a feel for life in the rural villages.

This museum is amazing! There are sections dedicated to different ethnic groups of Vietnam. There is another building that is dedicated to other Asian cultures and history. There is also a big yard that is a replica of the life-sized Vietnamese traditional houses. You will need at least 2 hours, and 3+ if you want to be thorough. Great place to bring children. Also it was not crowded at all so i was able to walk around quietly.
As of 2/2/2024, the top floor of the Kite building has a special exhibit dedicated to Korea.

This is the place everyone should visit in Vietnam. It is a very good source of knowledge about Vietnamese culture. It has three main exhibitions. The main one about Vietnamese 54 ethnic groups. There is another building about culture and things of South east Asia and other parts of the world l. And the most interesting one is the outdoor section with 1 to 1 scale actual houses.
It takes around 6 hours to completely see, read and understand the things. But you would not regret spending one whole day in this museum. It has many interesting facts and artifacts about Architecture, Design, Culture, Fashion , Religions and Ethnic groups.
The display and information is quite good compared to other museums in the region

This is a fascinating visit. A large and well designed museum that exhibits information about the different cultural groups of Vietnam. You can see artefacts, videos, images and read about so many different traditions, beliefs, customs and history. Available in 3 languages (Vietnamese, French and English) throughout. It also includes a wide variety of full sized homes that you can walk through and learn about, to find out how people live in different cultural groups. I loved it!
