The inside of the museum lacked excitement but I loved the water puppet show and homes featured on the grounds of the museum.

We loved the museum. We spent very little time indoors with just a wander round the ground floor for 30 minutes or so. There are some interesting items to see but very little information about them. We spent a couple of hours wandering round the different houses in the grounds, which was lovely, shady and very interesting. Would be amazing... More

I could spend all day in a museum. I like to read the fine print and get the feel of bygone days. It was easy to do that here. Get a taxi from wherever you are, its always cheap compared to home and so is the addmission. The outdoor display of early life is well set out and can take... More

this museum is same with the other museum, little bit bored. But if you love historical about ethnic maybe you would love it. You can learn alot about vietnamnese culture, if u want to know more, better u hire a guide, they will explain u alot than the text on the information board

We visited the museum whilst we stayed in Hanoi.

Nice to go if you are interested in the Culture of Vietnam ethnic groups, but if you only have very limited time, I'm not sure it is worth missing other sites for. The taxi ride from Old Quarter is about $7.5 and 25 mins each way, which is not cheap according... More

There is a big open area outside the museum building where they rebuilt houses from different minority goups. They are of different structure, built from different materials and of different shapes. If your time is limited and can... More

Not sure what to expect here but we learnt a lot about Vietnamese culture in a short space of time. Well set out and educational. No air conditioning though so was very hot inside. The outside exhibits appeared to be a number of wooden huts all of which were much the same, just bigger or longer than the one before.... More

Great to show the different ethnic groups in Vietnam. The display of the housing out the back of the Museum is great.
