Ethnology Museum - A Blast from the Past

#vietnamtrip Located 7km away from Old Quarters, this museum captures the essence of the different ethnic groups in Vietnam! Apart from the usual indoor displays of artifacts and models, this museum re-constructed ethnic houses with interior decorations and furnitures. This made the experience alot more realistic and wholesome as compared to seeing relics through a glass. Entrance tickets costs VND 40,000, with options for guided tours at a separate cost. It takes around an hour to fully appreciate this hidden gem. #hiddengem #hanoi #vietnam #explorevn

Vietnam Museum of Ethnology

One of the places I enjoy taking my visitors to Hanoi is the Hanoi Museum of Ethnicity. Vietnam is similar to China in many ways, but Vietnam is also made up of various ethnic minorities. The Viet people, who are equivalent to the Han people of China, make up more than 80% of the population and there are a total of 54 ethnic minorities. They look similar to us, but they have different customs, languages, lifestyles, and personalities. When you go to the Hanoi Museum of Ethnicity, after the various indoor exhibitions, there is an exhibition hall of ethnic minority residences set up in the backyard. Here, you can experience the customs of various ethnic groups who build and live in different types of houses depending on the characteristics of their living areas. Among them, this facility with explicit depictions of genitals is a tomb. I can understand their desire to connect life and death as one.
