The displays are not always translated well in to English, and be prepared for some propaganda. It's mostly photos and some relics behind glass.

This museum showed the role women have played in Vietnam's history. One section showed various women's clothing throughout the years. Another section showed the part women have played in the country's revolutionary struggle against the French & Americans. It's a worthwhile museum to visit if you're in the area and is dedicated specifically to women.
