Vietnamese Women's Museum is suggested to be one of 10 worldwide museums that women will enjoy by Journeywoman, a travel website for women.

1. Textile Museum - Toronto, Canada
Are you interested in the history of fabrics? Do you love to decorate with more than modern design? Imagine a small space filled to the brim with 12,000 objects from more than 200 countries and regions. This charming collection housed in Toronto's Textile Museum celebrates cultural diversity via traditional fabrics, garments, carpets, beadwork, and basketry. Their tiny museum shop offers unique gifts and books, as well as one-of-a-kind fashion accessories and home decorations by Canadian and international artisans. (http://www.textilemuseum.ca/)

Almost a month has gone by since the time the exhibition ‘‘Stories of Markets“ opened, the Vietnamese Women’s Museum has received thousands of visitors to view and experience the display. Visitors included foreign and domestic individuals and groups, especially many families who live in Hanoi of which there comprised many elderly people. From the feedback of visitors, we know that most of them has a common feeling: that the exhibition “Stories of Markets“ reminded them of their childhood memories, life in the past and the present as well also their anxiety and concern on the changes and the dissapearance of market places – a typical cultural aspect of Hanoi.

Toro Kingdom’s Prime Minister Steven Kaliba and Crown Prince Jag We Ali have just paid a visit to the Vietnamese Women’s Museum (VWM) during his stay in Vietnam for the UN Vesak 2014 to be held in Ninh Binh province.

"Village Market" is an event running alongside the exhibition “Stories of Markets” by the Vietnamese Women’s Museum. Both events are held in cooperation with Tinh Thuong Microfinance Institution – TYM and commemorate the occasion of the 104th International Women’s Day, March 8th, 2014.

A common trend for modern museums in the world is getting the community involved in the museum’s activities and offering suitable services. The Vietnamese Women’s Museum is following this trend.
