10 Specialty Museums in Hanoi That You Shouldn't Miss
The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

Focused on the contribution of women to Vietnam's history and culture, this museum highlights their roles in Vietnam's many military conflicts as well as in commerce, including features on female street vendors, women's role in the family, and more recently, single mothers in Vietnam.

Perfectly located, just two blocks away from Hoan Kiem Lake, this is an excellent museum to learn Vietnamese culture and history from the women's perspective through their daily family life and special occasions such as marriage, pregnancy, birth and wartime. Displays were well-organized including videos. Exhibition about traditional costumes and artifacts showed cultural diversity in Vietnam, which was all the more interesting for me because I was just returned from a trek at Sapa. Their museum shop was also great. The entrance fee was only 30,000 VND and I got a Japanese booklet, which I found very informative, at the same price. Highly recommended.

This house in the Old Quarter was restored in 1999, as an example of an ancient Hanoian home. It represents the architecture of the Old Quarter, and is decorated to reflect ancient houses of Hanoi.

This's a reconstruction of the way the home was before it had been bombed in the American War. A very great spot to go around. They provide you an English brochure on entering. We went with a tour guide, therefore a great deal was discussed to us.Nice slice of the old city that has been restored. Particularly appreciated the kitchen area. I've sent an e-mail to trip advisor to inform them that this's an appeal without an area to stay. In case this assessment is informative, please tick below. Having said that, admission is not really expensive. In case you are enthusiastic about this particular component of Vietnamese history or merely just older architecture, it is well worth a visit. I rather enjoyed it.
