Vietnam Women's Museum

The Vietnam Women's Museum is a cultural and history museum located at 36 Ly Thuong Kiet Street in Hoan Kiem District, central Ha Noi. Operated by the Vietnam Women's Union, it is dedicated to the role and contributions of Vietnamese women throughout history. The museum is notable for its three permanent thematic exhibitions on women in family, history and fashion, extensive collection of artifacts, and modern interactive displays.

Visitors can expect a modern four-storey museum building in central Hanoi with three permanent exhibition floors. The ground floor introduces the museum, while upper floors display artifacts, photographs, costumes, and multimedia installations covering women's roles in family life, wartime history, and ethnic fashion and traditions. Exhibits include traditional ao dai, ethnic minority textiles, everyday objects, and documentary films with English and French translations. The visit is indoors, self-guided or with audio guide and guided tours.

Established in 1987 under the Vietnam Women's Union and opened to the public in 1995, the museum was created to preserve and present the history and cultural heritage of Vietnamese women. Its collections document women's participation in national history, including wartime periods, and everyday life from the 20th century onward. The museum building was renovated between 2006 and 2010 to modernize exhibitions.

The museum is dedicated to honoring the role of Vietnamese women in family, society and culture. It preserves and displays artifacts, traditional costumes and textiles representing the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam, highlighting customs related to marriage, motherhood, and community life, as well as women's contributions to cultural continuity and social development.
