Women's Museum of Southern Vietnam

Women's Museum of Southern Vietnam was established to recognise the cultural and military contributions of the women of South Vietnam over the ages. Also called Bao Tang Phu Nu Nam Bo, it was founded in 1985 and occupies ten rooms in three storeys. Within the museum are displays ranging from medals to ethnic clothings.

There is an in-house tour of the museum. It usually starts at the thrid floor, which showcases the contribution of women in the communist struggle for independence. The items displayed show that Vietnamese women were also involved in combat.

On the second floor of the museum are statues and large paintings of historical events involving women. There is also a recreated prison cell showing a national heroine held captive.

The first floor of the Women's Museum displays traditional crafts and customs. There is a replica of a temple entrance, to showcase the Vietnamese practice of goddess worship. Also displayed are regional costumes and products made by women in cottage industries.

Location

202 Vo Thi Sau Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
