About
Brze činjenice: Wandering through airy galleries feels like stepping into a dozen living villages, with colorful textiles, carved masks, and hands-on displays that bring folk traditions to life. A neat surprise is that the collection represents 54 distinct ethnic communities, and the outdoor area has full-sized stilt houses you can climb into for an unfiltered feel of rural architecture.
Istaknuto: Imagine walking among life-size traditional stilt houses and a Bahnar communal longhouse, the air scented with lacquer and smoky clay while mannequins and panels animate the rituals of 54 ethnic groups. A quirky surprise waits in the displays: over 10,000 artifacts include cobalt-and-red Hmong embroidered jackets and a ring of bronze gongs that staff still strike during live demonstrations.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for gravel paths in the outdoor village and steep steps inside traditional houses.
- Arrive when the museum opens on weekdays to avoid tour buses and get the best light for photos.
- Prioritize the outdoor village and the large communal houses if you are short on time, skip some smaller display rooms.
- Bring a sun hat and water during April to September, or a compact umbrella in the rainy season.
