Vietnam Museum of Ethnology cited among Asia’s top 25 attractive museums
The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology (VME) has been named as one of the best museums in Asia, announced by TripAdvisor.
The museum ranks fourth in the list, up from sixth place in 2013 and 2014 is the third year in a row that the museum has won TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice award, according to Museum Director Vo Quang Trong.
TripAdvisor features the VME as the place to explore the ethnic groups that make up Vietnam, featuring both indoor and outdoor exhibitions with reproductions of the homes of different groups.
In addition to Vietnamese culture, the VME also reserves a special area to introduce the cultures and lifestyles of other Southeast Asian countries to help visitors explore the similarities and differences between the culture of Vietnam and those of other countries in the region.
