Well worth a visit. Close to the old quater an easy walk or a short taxi ride. This museum takes you on a journey of the important role the vietnames woman has, and what influance they have had in history.

Great to get a sense of how women played a role as revolutionaries and in the War. Also really interesting exhibits on Motherhood and marriage.

I found the videos set all throughout the four floors held the most information for me. Worth a visit for an hour or... More

I really enjoyed this musuem. The displays are informative and interesting, with plenty of pictures, video, and displays. There are even some interactive exhibits. I learned things here that I wouldn't learn from other museums or experiences in Hanoi. It's only 30,000 dong, and this place is well worth your money and an hour or two of your time.
