Traveler reviews
Vy Nguyen
★★★★★a month agoReally enjoyed this museum. Beautifully designed from the outside, different levels of exhibitions for ceramics stories and history. I totally loved the light show on level 3 - a must see! Had a good time trying tea on the 5th floor and bought some cute ceramics items back. For families, can try making your own ceramic bowls/glasses on the ground floor. Totally recommended for a quick 1.5-2 hours visit.

★★★★★4 months agoThis was a delightful surprise visit. Although it’s a bit further from the usual Hanoi attractions, it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle and find some tranquility. I highly recommend the ticket that grants access to all floors. The rooftop access is particularly great for unwinding and enjoying the serene garden while sipping on their refreshing cold tea. The highlight exhibit of “light sculptures” is truly captivating and unique, even though it’s not directly related to potery.
