Traveler reviews
Khant Soe Naung
★★★★★2 months agoFor only 40,000 VND entry, this was a highlight of Hanoi. Incredibly moving and peaceful. The collection is brilliantly curated with excellent English signs that walk you through family life, tribal traditions, and wartime heroism. The ethnic textiles and propaganda art were incredible to see firsthand. We spent 2 hours here and easily could have stayed longer. Absolutely would recommend!
HunGeri
★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful, plentiful, and interesting art pieces are exhibited here. You can see works ranging from 8000 BC to contemporary art, with good descriptions and an interesting audio guide (although I definitely wouldn’t call it a must). We loved the contemporary art section the most, although it could have been a bit bigger :) Overall, it was a nice experience, definitely recommended if you like arts!
