IMPORTANT!!! Google maps will direct you to the building about modern Vietnamese history, but to go in chronological order you need to go across the road to the other building to start with prehistoric Vietnam. I’ve included a photo of the correct building to start at below.
Other than that, the museum is OK. The prehistory room was very good, but once I got to the room about Chinese influence and the development of Vietnam as a country, the descriptions and explanations became very confusing and it was really hard to tell what the items on display showed. I kind of didn’t get the sense of Vietnamese history that I’d hoped for.
