MUONG ETHNIC GROUP CULTURAL SPACE MUSEUM IN HOABINH
The first thing visitors see is water spilling over rock formation into a stream flanked by rice mortars, a reflection of the unique cultural identity of the Muong people. The centuries-old Muong culture is captured in two sections: a reenactment section and a display section. The reenactment section contains 4 Muong stilt houses that illustrate the social stratification of feudal society. The Muong houses are differentiated by socialstatus - the “Lang” house for the most powerful families, the “Âu” house for the mandarins, the ‘Tạo” house for ordinary people, and the “Nõ” house for the lowest class, such as widows and orphans. Further on are display rooms which showcase traditional Muong handicrafts such as knitted woven and embroidered fabrics, tools for hunting and farming, and items used in festivals, traditional observances, and religious practice. Visitor Ngo Thu Nga from Hanoi told VOV: “I am grateful for the initiative, love of Muong culture, and effort that created these displays and this museum.”

VIETNAMESE COSTUME
The most recognisable traditional garment you’re likely to see in Vietnam today is the aodai, an item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose trousers. The design of the modern aodai is a variation on more traditional forms of dress, and was perfected in the 1950s. Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the aodai has since seen a resurgence and many women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often as part of a uniform for schools, universities and public service roles.
The male equivalent of the aodai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily worn only on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals. You are less likely to see the ao gam than theaodai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam.
More well-known even than the aodai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat that has become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many Westerners. The hat, which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000 years ago, and is considered part of modern Vietnamese national costume.
From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style clothing in day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of country still commonly wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality.
