Vietnamese Women’s Museum (VWM) is located in Ly Thuong Kiet Street, downtown Hanoi, just 500m from the central Hoan Kiem (Restored Sword) Lake and the old quarter. This is the most ancient street in the capital city, with many French-style buildings, foreign embassies, big hotels and government offices.
Vietnamese Women’s Museum was established in 1987 and run by Vietnam Women’s Union. It is a gender museum with functions of research, preservation, and display of tangible and intangible historical and cultural heritages of Vietnamese women and Vietnam Women’s Union. It is also a centre for cultural exchange between Vietnamese and international women for the goal of equality, development and peace.
Since its open to public in 1995, VWM has successfully held many exhibitions, serving hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and international visitors a year. It has a collection of more than 25,000 objects and materials related to Vietnamese women.
In late 2010, VWM reopened to public its permanent exhibit after four years of upgrading and refurbishing with three themes:
- Women In Family
- Women In History
- Women’s Fashion
The newly renovated Vietnamese Women’s Museum is introducing better displays with contemporary curation and story telling and updated facilities, making it very unique and impressive. At the same time, VWM has moved from a cultural and historical museum to a gender museum with its rich identity, providing much information on cultural traditions and issues of social and contemporary life. It is a tribute to the role Vietnam’s women have played in history and continue to play in contemporary life.
