Vietnam, Hanoi,
Museum of Vietnamese Revolution |
| This
museum tells the story of the Vietnamese Revolution. Like many
of these kind of museums the story the Revolution is good, but
the museum a little bit boring. Room after room (29 altogether)
shows you artifacts (papers, photos, banners, etc.) of the
Revolution, with only a Vietnamese explanation. But wandering
through the museum, you can enjoy the show-cases as symbols of
the curators' zeal. More and more people discover the
museum as the pictures from two different leaflets of the museum
in 2000 and 2002 show underneath. |
