FITO Museum is Vietnam’s first private museum dedicated to traditional medicine. Set in a beautifully crafted traditional-style house, it features over 3,000 artifacts like herbal tools, ancient texts, and old pharmacy items. Visitors can explore serene wooden interiors, learn about famous Vietnamese physicians, and even join educational activities. It’s a peaceful and fascinating stop for anyone curious about Vietnam’s healing traditions and cultural heritage.

Large amount of incredibly beautiful and intricately crafted historic wood carvings that are integrated in the architecture and interior and that show all kinds of mythical creatures and floral motives. Since most of it is made from dark and raw wood i didn't had the impression of kitsch but rather got lost in a magical world of details.

Would have loved to get more background info on the architecture additionally to the medicine focused content of the museum.

The only star is for the museum itself. However, I saw huge discrepancies in the way my family was treated and how 2 other guys (also European) were treated. While we were just handed out some plastic pamphlets explaining in short the history of the Vietnamese tradition medicine, the other two guys got a free of charge guided tour (it was free as I went to ask them whether they had paid for it) by one of the ladies working in the museum. The guy that sold us the tickets tucked us in a dark room and played a movie about the traditional Vietnamese medicine. After this he gave us the pamphlets and left us on our own. No introduction whatsoever. I followed a bit with the other two guys and confronted the guide regarding the tour we have not been offered and she just mumbled back that it depends on the group?! What group? They were 2 single guys and I came with my husband and daughter. So families are considered a burden for their staff and a huge responsibility if they are not even offered the option of having the tour. The lady went out of her way regarding her tour with the guys: so much that she was telling them how to stand and where to look in order to take their perfect pictures. Am I missing something here? Were they influencers this place was desperately needing in order to attract a crowd? So to sum it up: we paid 180 000 per adult and 90 000 for the 6 years old child, we were offered each one cup of free tea at the end of the tour and we were given plastic pamphlets explaining the history of the place. Nothing more for this high price. This in the Western world is clearly called discrimination. I came because I was sure there was at least one activity for the kids - obviously the same activity was very popular for adults too: to change clothes into the traditional Vietnamese ones and pretend to be an old days pharmacist mixing herbs and making medicines. We had to specifically go and ask our supposedly dedicated guide about it- he simply showed into the direction where the place in question was located, without any further explanation.
Kindly re-consider bringing kids here as your “group” will automatically be a low priority in the eyes of their staff. Note: ONLY CASH accepted! P.S. to see how the lady was positioning the guys for their perfect shot - check the last picture of the ones I have uploaded.

A building with so much knowledge inside. Every inch of this place is worthy of your time, especially if you're into knowledge from the past. Highly recommended!? They sell some products that can be bought as souvenirs as well.
