If you are a fan of water puppet art, you can’t miss Thuy Dinh House. Thuy Dinh House in Museum of Ethnology is the place holding a lot of water puppet performances, a Vietnamese traditional art form.

The harmonious combination between wooden puppet and traditional music played on the water surface is a clear refection about the rural life of Vietnamese people.

With a view introducing foreign cultures to tourists worldwide, mainly the Southeast Asia culture, Southeast Asia section- "Cánh Diều" (the Kite) building was constructed. Visiting “Canh Dieu” building, visitors can get a great chance to enjoy amazing performances from Southeast Asia countries such as the Java play of mask and dance, Indonesia Shadow Puppet and Myanmar String Puppet (yoke thay thabin).
