VietnamDescription and is it worth a visit
Museum of Women of South Vietnam (Southern Vietnamese Women's Museum) is a little-known and not often visited by tourists in Ho Chi Minh City. Similar to the famous The Women's Museum in Hanoi, tells about the role of women in the history of Vietnam, their way of life and everyday life. The museum may seem simple, however, its exposition is quite diverse and is located on three floors. Both ancient artifacts and already modern objects are collected here.
The museum contains information about the history of the liberation movement during the wars with the French and Americans for the freedom and independence of the country and the role of women in the further formation of the state. Information is presented in photographs, documents, objects. The exhibits are signed in English. Much attention is paid to the activities of women during the formation of the state and in the post-war period.
Elegant dresses and suits are exhibited in one of the halls, which women visitors will certainly appreciate. It is a pity that visitors to the museum can not try on one of these outfits. Some specimens have recently entered the museum's collection, for example, dresses from the Miss Grand International 2021 contest. And the collection is replenished every year. Combs, mirrors, brooches, bracelets are also among the items on display.
Special attention in the museum is paid to the national costume Ao Dai, the symbol of the Vietnamese woman. It consists of a long shirt and trousers, it is sewn mainly from silk and each is very individual. Today it is rarely seen on the streets, it is worn only on special occasions and for important events. Despite the fact that over the years, fashion designers have been trying to transform the look of this traditional costume by adding small details, while maintaining its uniqueness and uniqueness. In addition, other traditional costumes and accessories of the peoples of Vietnam are also presented.
There are several photos of women at their daily work on the street exhibition. There is a gift shop. Overall, this is a worthy place to visit to learn more about the culture and people of Vietnam.
