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.

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

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
