Museums of Hanoi

While in Hanoi, Andrew and I thought it would be best to visit the museums of Vietnam, especially those that commented on the Vietnam War. In our few days in Hanoi, we visited the Army Museum (lots of old planes, bombs and artifacts from Vietnam's history of trying to overthrow colonizers -China, France and the US), the B-52 Museum (a collection of B-52 planes and parts shot down during the Vietnam War), the Ho Chi Minh Museum and Mausoleum (the museum itself was very modern and artsy, we didn't get to see Ho Chi Minh in the mausoleum though because it is only open to viewing in the morning hours) and the Ethnology Museum, which highlights the different ethnic groups in Vietnam (lots of good exhibits on the Hmong people).
