Hanoi / Hoan Kiem

Vietnamese Women's Museum

One of Vietnam's most modern museums, it tells the history and culture of Vietnamese women through artefacts, costumes, crafts, memoirs and photographs, with thematic exhibitions that change through the year. It opens daily 8:00–17:00 on Ly Thuong Kiet street, a short walk south of Hoan Kiem Lake, making it a good rainy-day stop.
