Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stunning Building on the outside and a little run down inside including colored wall surfaces with a lot of dings and some very noticeable bad patching of floor tiles. Well laid out and easy to follow. I learned about the area’s frequent struggles to rid foreign powers. The cultural area had a logical sequence and had several benches for viewing short videos while other video screens were black and out of order. I especially liked the model of the long house.
I thought I would buzz through Biodiversity but I actually slowed down when learning about rubber production with video, and the displays on coffee, peppercorns and herbal medicine.
The gift shop was oversized but fit the large size of the lobby. Unfortunately it was dark and uninviting. I would have purchased some peppercorns but they sold in a larger rigid bottle which never would have fit in my suitcase whereas a small flexible bag would.
Not many people here when we were here. But staff were very hospitable and one even called us a taxi and walked us outside to reinforce with the driver our next destination.
Lovely grounds set in a formal park-like setting.

Exceptional place to visit the cultural and living styles of Vietnamese life. The place is filled with beautiful houses depending on each part of the country as well as different ethnics living in the country. All this maintained in a very good condition and a joy to visit. There are many other information also and a water puppet show is in place. Excellent visit.

I came here with my company trip. 70 people. The building is designed like a longhouse and nestled in a garden of camphor trees. It is a little run down and has a 1960s feel to it. Our tour guide was good. She was very knowledgable and kept us going so it was not boring. It is physically a big place and well worth the time to visit.

I liked both the architecture of the new building and the content ! Of course, it is not the marvelous museum of the Minorities of Vietnam in Hanoi, but it is a nice effort definitely worth a visit

Nice museum with artifacts and detailed information to know more about the province. Recommended to anyone who is interested in history. Nice display.
Plus big yard outside with lots of trees. You should check out the trees located at the other side. It is the biggest tree I have ever seen, branches spread everywhere.

The museum is basic but is a good insight into the local region.
Can learn about the people, animals and history of the region.

A huge space with more employees than visitors (visitor: I was alone that day), a lot of TV screens but quite none working and just quite nothing to see.
After Hanoi's wonderfull one ( and even without this big experience) it's just waisted time.

An enormous space, only partially filled by the museum. Divided into 3 sections over one floor with a photographic exhibit on the ground floor.
A really nice and well laid out regional museum.

Bonsoir Trung D,
Quel est le musée d'Ethnographie le plus interressant, Buon Ma Thuot ou Hanoï
Je prépare un voyage au Vietnam pour début 2017. Et je pense qu'il faut en visiter l'un des deux pour bien comprendre notre voyage.

Bonjour,
Je n'ai pas visité celui de Hanoï.
Ce que je peux vous dire, c'est que celui de Buon Ma Thuot a été financé par l'Unesco et est dans une région moins sensible à la propagande.
Le contenu est moins partial et donc du coup, plus intéressant, à mon sens.
Pendant notre voyage, nous avions fait appel à des guides, régionaux à chaque fois (je crois que c'est obligatoire, l'agence n'a pas insisté là dessus et nous non plus).
Nous avions bien senti l'imprégnation des guides proches de Hanoï. Sans discuter de l'aspect politique, les commentaires touristiques en étaient pour le moins faussés.
Par ailleurs, vous pensez faire votre voyage en début d'année.
N'oubliez pas que pendant le Têt (une semaine entière), il n'y a quasiment plus d'activité, les gens sont rentrés en famille, souvent en province. Les grandes villes sont plus sympathiques à visiter car moins de monde, mais les commerces sont également fermés. A tenir compte, selon la durée de votre séjour (3 semaines pour ma part).
Cordialement
Trung
