Lonely Planet review for Museum Of Vietnamese Women

The Vietnamese women celebrated here are graceful, wily and strong as all hell. Among the fuzzy photos usually displayed in Hanoi museums are some fascinating artefacts, including homemade machetes, a knife with an explicit caption noting it slashed at an oppressor's neck and the ragtag garments worn by a female spy who pretended to be crazy. The top floor showcases beautiful textiles made by ethnic-minority women.

    Interesting for an hour.

    It's great to see a museum like this. Personally I enjoyed the ethnographic stuff which was more humanistic than at the ethnographic museum. Some great clothes in here too. Friendly people, not expensive, well located. Thumbs up.
