About the Women’s Museum
Despite being a patriarchal society, Viet Nam still reserves a special, if not sacred, place to honor Vietnamese women. Not only is October 20th is made Vietnam’s Women day but there also exists a museum dedicated to women.
The museum displays rather recent history of women, such as women and ethnicity; women and the national struggle; Vietnam women association and the feminism; women and traditional costumes; and women’s cultural traits expressed through handicrafts.
There are also frequent exhibitions on contemporary women, such as women working as street vendors or women’s place in the family. The Vietnam Women’s Museum is definitely worth a few hour visit, especially for those keen on learning about culture and gender.
The museum is located at 36 Ly Thuong Kiet, Hanoi. You can visit the museum website: womenmuseum.org.vn for more information.
