According to the introduction about the Southern Women’s Museum, the museum was originally the residence of Mrs. Nguyen Ngoc Loan - the Director of the National Police Department of the Republic of Vietnam. Later, on April 29, 1985, the place was converted into the Southern Women’s Traditional House, covering an area of 200 square meters, which includes six exhibition rooms.
However, the modest size makes it challenging to convey all the content and representative activities of Southern women throughout the nation’s history of building and defending the country. Therefore, on March 8, 1986, construction of a new museum began. By May 18, 1990, the Southern Women’s Museum was officially inaugurated.
The museum has a usable area of 5,410 square meters, featuring a hall that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people and a storage system spanning over 700 square meters. It currently manages about 31,360 different artifacts, along with nearly 15,000 film documents and 12,000 books about women. The artifacts here mainly relate to revolutionary warfare and cultural themes. The museum also dedicates two exhibition rooms to showcase the revolutionary activities of women who have made their mark in the history of Vietnam and the world, such as Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Thi Hong Gam, Vo Thi Sau, and Nguyen Thi Dinh.
