The ladies were introduced about the history of the museum and told about great stories of Vietnamese women in wartime as well as in peacetime. They also learnt about the life of local women through exhibitions of roles of women in family, women in history, and women’s costumes of various ethnic minority groups.
The Thai and Lao ladies expressed their respect for the good virtues of Vietnamese women and their contribution throughout the country’s history. They also raised many questions about the uniqueness of Vietnamese women in different regions.
After their tour around the museum, the ladies enjoyed a performance of “chau van”, the ritual music and singing, part of the practices related to the Viet beliefs in the Mother Goddesses of Three Realms which was inscribed on the Representative List of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016.
