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.
