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.
Address: 36 Ly Thuong Kiet, Hang Bai ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi ( open from 8am o 5pm, Monday to Sunday)
