Detail introduction
A large and modern museum detailing the more than fifty different ethnic groups of modern Vietnam.
Ethnology museums across this wider region can be dire places - full of propaganda and poor research. This museum serves as an example for its east Asian cousins on how to properly present and explain a country's ethnic mosaic without being condescending towards minorities.
This is a great place to spend a morning learning about the suprisingly large variety of languages and cultures inside Vietnam. I found the artefacts to be interesting and the explanations scholarly without being too dry.
The highlight is definitely wandering around the grounds poking through the different cultures' traditional houses.
