It was very interesting place. Entrance fee is 40,000D reasonable price. Mostly cool inside and you can see a lot of Vietnam's tribes life style. Also, you can get experience about traditional village area.

It was great to be back for long periods. I came a bit late about 3:30 afternoon and spend most of my time in the main museum. After that, I got out and experience the architectural gardens (this was a great experience 😩😍) except time was running out. I don't have the chance to get into the kite? towel. Hope to come back to visit next time with much more time!!!

Really nice place, the entrance fee is 40 000VND. Discount is only for Vietnamese students. The museum shows how they lived, and there is also open-air museum which is really nice. You have to take off your shoes to enter some of the houses in the open-air part. It's worth it

I could see various and unique culture and people all around Vietnam here. The best thing was I could see and learn more about sapa people which I visited few days ago. The building itself was modern architecture. Also, they displayed kind of traditional buildings of Vietnamese people outside the museum. They are open to visitors and could directly feel their culture which was very good experience. The only drawback was that food here was so expensive and mostly not related to Vietnam stuff like pizza. I was fortunate to see water puppet here. I don’t know even a word of Vietnamese but it was just funny and interesting to see it.

Some really interesting exhibits here. We particularly enjoyed exploring the tribal homes. A nice way to spend 2-3 hours. The souvenirs at the shop there be bought downtown at better prices.
