We went here upon the recommendation of our hotel and what a great stop it was! Our kids had a blast, not only learning more about the different people, but also exploring the architecture outside. I think other reviewers may have written about this, but they've built ethnic homes outside on the grounds, so you're able to go all through ...

I took my kids there (9 and 14) and they loved it, especially the traditional ethnic houses. Fantastic place. Make sure to keep an eye out for all the brides. This is THE place to have wedding photos done. We saw 5 the day we were there. :)

Worth the effort to get here if interested in ethnology. Good museum shop - items are generally purchased direct from artisans, cutting out the middle men and giving the artisans a better return for their efforts.
One of the best museums I've been to anywhere

Unless your doing the grand tour of Vietnam and get a chance to go off the beaten track this place should be a must on your itinerary. It gives you a great insight into the various tribes that go to make up the country and shows how they live. outside the museum different types of houses from the various regions have been built. You can go inside ...

I liked this place very representative of Vietnam.
Ethnics minorities are well represented, their culture, their useful.
The organisation, managing is very professional. 54 Ethnic minorities which represent the Vietnam is a wonderful discover.
We need half day to visit this museum

i usually get bored by museums after about half an hour. but this one, of all countries ive been to, is my favourite museum. its set up modernly, its interesting to look at it, its varying in its exhibitions. its just great. and really gives you a sense of the country youre in.

outside the museum building on the museum grounds are reconstructions of various huts of ethnic tribes that you can go inside and check out. some have decorations and instruments that you can try out. this is the most interesting part of the museum and worth checking out!
