A group of tourists walks up the steps and towards the front entrance of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, which showcases the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam, located in Hanoi.

This fabulous collection relating to Vietnam's ethnic minorities features well-presented tribal art, artifacts and everyday objects gathered from across the nation, and examples of traditional village houses. Displays are well labeled in Vietnamese, French and English. If you're into anthropology, it's well worth the Grab motorbike-taxi fare to the Cau Giay district, about 7km from the city center, where the museum is located.
