The Vietnam Museum of Ethonology in Hanoi is a great place to have a glance at the traditional culture of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups. The museum is located outside of the main city area… took a bit of travelling time but it’s worth a visit.

Sharing some photos below, taken inside the museum building…
