Extensively renovated and reopened to the public in 2010, this is a relatively new and modern-looking museum.
As its name suggests, this museum focuses on Vietnamese women, and their many accomplishments. However, rather than looking at a few specific individuals, this museum celebrates women in general, and speaks a lot on the sacrifices that ordinary women made for the sake of their families and country.
Stories depict about the struggles the mothers of soldiers went through, as well as female soldiers themselves, who fought fearlessly in a male-dominated arena.

But more than about just the war, the museum talks about life as a woman in the villages, and how they are always the one families depend on in their everyday lives. From cooking for the family, and working to make ends meet, to caring for the children and old folks, the women are always the go-to person.
Traditional costumes are also on display, and it shows visitors a glimpse of the traditional lifestyle in Vietnam. More so, such costumes are aplenty in this museum, with each costume representing a different culture and different purpose. Truly, all these show the diversity present in Vietnam, and more importantly, how the country is united as one, inclusive of all cultures.
For sure, this is a museum that is not to be missed in Vietnam, and it gives you a much wider picture of life in Vietnam!
