Top 10 Museums in Hanoi, Vietnam

May 18, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

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.

Empty Wall Gallery

Reviewed By chasemarta - Chapel Hill, United States

We visited the Empty Wall Gallery when we were in Hanoi in 2016. We wanted to make sure that we visited again during our recent visit. Ms. Yen has a wonderful selection of art at reasonable prices. She is so welcoming and it is a great experience to visit the gallery and look at the different art. They will pack or ship art for you. Don't miss the gallery.

Fine Arts Museum (Bao Tang My Thuat)

This museum was opened in 1966. Though in need of updating, some interesting artifacts are on display in its three floors organized chronologically.

Reviewed By TravelinGypsey

Perfect museum! Especially perfect on a hot day and if you want to do something relaxing, knowledgeable, fun and see some beautiful art. The first building has three floors available to view and the second building has four floors but there isn’t something on each floor. The basement area of the second building has pottery which is beautiful, then the top floor has authentic, tribal clothing and artifacts (it is a bit warmer in this building and on the top level but it’s worth seeing!) The first building is next to the ticket area (there is a gift shop inside) which is past the little coffee stand; this building has beautiful collections of paintings across different eras, oil paintings, statues and just amazing things. Spend time just relaxing and walking through- it’s a perfect activity and museum for anyone; solo, family or friends! Follow @travelingypsey on Instagram & GoogleMaps!

We visited here as part of our highlights of Indochina tour. This is a great museum with brilliant outdoor exhibits showing examples of the houses used by each of the ethnic groups that came together to form modern Vietnam. We spent a good few hours here as the indoor exhibits are also excellent with translations in English. There is also a good cafe in the grounds serving hot meals as well as tea coffee cakes etc. This was a good visit and would recomend it to anyone wanting to know more about the people of Vietnam and their origins.

Vietnamese Women's Museum

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.

Reviewed By Sakuraplatz - Ichihara, Japan

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.

Admission might be rather pricy, but certainly worth the view. Practically the tallest building around, allowing for far reaching views throughout Hanoi.
