Women in Vietnam are very great, they do everything what a man shall do, farm working, construction, take part in war. The most touching part is the stories about "Hero Mother", I couldn't help crying when I read one mother lost 10 of her sons and 2 grandsons, that's too cruel to her.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Women's Museum, wandering through the exhibits feeling a lot of empathy and admiration for the Vietnamese women. It is exciting that there is a museum dedicated to women and I was really happy to have had the opportunity to go there. I certainly would recommend it to anyone going to Hanoi.

This was a very interesting museum with photos and artefacts which gave a good illustration of Vietnamese life. The displays all had informative English captions. The museum is air conditioned so it makes a welcome break if you have been trekking around the city.

This was a great museum with interest exhibits and information on display. The staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the cafe!

To Funnydude: You're right. Although the local guide just takes a glance of about 30 minutes, but it takes 1 hour or more to learn about lively rituals, marriage customs, childbirth and family life, traditional women's clothing and the role of women in defending the nation in the war. It's so interesting!!! Otherwise, I love the color and decoration of... More
