Exhibition of Goddesses Worshipping in Vietnamese Women’s Museum

The worship of Goddesses is a long-standing belief and very popular in Vietnam, a wet-rice cultivation country, where the female plays an important role in the development of the economy.

The worship of Goddesses is a deeply rooted belief that remains vibrant in Vietnam, a country renowned for its wet-rice cultivation, where women play a critical role in economic development. This belief system venerates Mothers, celebrating their reproductive power, fertility, and the value they bring to familial and community life.

 
Since 2009, the Vietnamese Women’s Union has been actively promoting the exhibition “Worshiping Mother Goddesses: Heart – Beauty – Joy”, supported by the Ford Foundation and the Centre for Research Support and Development of Culture. Researchers have interviewed hundreds of worshippers primarily residing in Northern Vietnam, including Hanoi, Lao Cai, Nam Dinh, and Thanh Hoa, to gather insights into the significance of Goddess worship in contemporary Vietnamese society.

The event is hosted at the Vietnamese Women’s Museum, located at 36 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hanoi. Admission is priced at VND 30,000 and tickets can be purchased at the museum entrance.
