A Walk in Wonder: Vietnamese Women's Museum

17 June 2024

Dear Friends and Family,

So much to write about!  I encourage you to circle back to this journal entry tomorrow for major additions.  Yesterday, Lee and I visited the Vietnamese Women's Museum.  This is one of two museums that I've longed to visit and it did not disappoint.  The curators have done a marvelous job of capturing the lives of Vietnamese women from the Northeast all the way to the Mekong Delta.  I was enraptured reading about their clothing, lives as wives and mothers, skill in embroidery, and daily work life. Across this and at least one other journal entry, I will share with you the pictures as well as the information posted by the museum.  

For now, I am simply posting some of the pictures that I took of the clothing styles which vary among the different ethnic groups which call this country home.  So, much more to come!
