In a close and sincere atmosphere, the two ladies enjoyed tea and a performance of ao dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress) and Vietnamese traditional musical instruments.
The ladies' visit left many deep impressions and was a valuable source of encouragement, strengthening the friendship, connection and exchange between women and people of the two countries.
Established in 1987, the Vietnamese Women’s Museum is located at 36 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hanoi. It contains approximately 40,000 materials and artifacts illustrating the lives of Vietnamese women throughout history.
The exhibition area is divided into three parts: Women in Families, Women in History, and Women’s Fashion. These exhibitions reveal many facets of Vietnamese women’s culture through rituals, marriage and birth-giving traditions, and traditional costumes.
