The somptuous Asian Civilisation Museum is currently housing an exhibition entitled 'Vietnam: From Myth to Modernity'. It explores the history of Vietnam mostly through its religions but remains an interesting insight into the rich country's culture and diversity. I was fortunate to enter the room at the same time as a volunteer guide was starting a tour. I do not always enjoy the guidance offered through an exhibition but I found that without the explanations and stories given by this lady I would have missed a lot of necessary background information. It actually really helped me to understand the whole chronology better and appreciate some relics that would not have made sense without it.
