The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is a popular destination on weekends. At the indoor display areas, visitors spend time observing artifacts, reading information introducing the life, customs, and habits of Vietnamese ethnic communities.
In the outdoor area, folk architectural works continue to attract attention. Many families bring young children to visit, helping them have more practical experiences about life and traditional culture.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Ms. Pham Minh Phuong (Tu Liem ward, Hanoi) took her child to the museum with the hope that her child would have the opportunity to learn more about traditional culture through practical experiences.
I want my child to have the opportunity to see with their own eyes artifacts, houses and traditional living spaces. Real-world experiences like this will help them visualize what they are learning more easily," Ms. Phuong shared.
After visiting the exhibition area, the two mothers and daughters continued to move to the outdoor area. Ms. Phuong said that her son was excited to observe the houses and living spaces introduced here.
I think trips like this help children gain more knowledge and understand more about culture. When they can see and experience it directly, stories about the lives of ethnic groups also become closer," Ms. Phuong said.
Not only families, many groups of young people also choose museums as destinations on holidays. Mr. Hoang Tuan Huy (Hanoi) said that he often comes here with friends to visit and learn more about culture.
On weekends, I often go with friends to places like museums. Each time I visit, I learn more about a story or a cultural feature that I have not learned carefully before," Mr. Huy said.
Besides Vietnamese tourists, the museum also attracts foreign tourists. Mr. Marcus Kingo (a tourist from England) said he wanted to learn more about Vietnamese culture during his trip to Hanoi.
I am impressed with the traditional houses and how museums introduce the lives of many communities. I can learn more about Vietnam through these artifacts and spaces," Mr. Marcus Kingo shared.
Through direct visits and learning activities, people and tourists have more opportunities to access the cultural values introduced at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. For many families, this is also an opportunity for young children to learn more about life and traditional culture through practical experiences.
