Not only honoring cultural values ​​and traditional beauty, the artifacts here also highlight the struggle of Vietnamese women in general, and Southern women in particular, through the great resistance wars of the nation.

In particular, the revolutionary activities of famous Vietnamese women have been recreated through many valuable original artifacts, typically the guns used by heroes Le Thi Hong Gam and Nguyen Thi Ut (Ut Tich) in the resistance war against America.

3. Located in Long Phuoc ward, district 9, Ho Chi Minh City, the Ao Dai Museum is home to a huge collection of Ao Dai designs of Vietnamese women from different periods.

Visitors to the museum will be surprised to see with their own eyes the styles of ao dai that were popular throughout history, such as the five-panel ao dai of the early 19th century, the modern ao dai of the 1930s-1940s, and the hippie ao dai in the South from 1968-1975...

In particular, the Ao Dai Museum also owns many Ao Dai sets worn by famous Vietnamese women, such as People's Artist Tra Giang, diplomats Nguyen Thi Binh and Ton Nu Thi Ninh.
