We really enjoyed discovering this museum that describes the various ethnies in Vietnam and their way of living. Nice documentaries and good descriptions in English and French. Gives you a good undertsanding of the people of Vietnam.

A collection of different type of traditional dwellings, arts and craft of the various ethnic race in Vietnam (there are quite a few).

We had great fun together. All the houses from all over the country are displayed here as one huge collection. We already figured out our next destination to go thanks to this interesting visit.

Vietnam has 54 ethnic minorities in its population. This museum attempts to recognise the place of these groups in Vietnamese society. Many of the groups are in danger of being swamped by the dominant Viet Dao culture and the headlong dash for modernisation of the country and its economy.
