Ethnographic films has an important role in the museum. These are only some pilot projects. In order to meet the requirements of a scientific film, an ethnographer must conduct an in-depth research and arrive at thorough explanations of every details in the film he makes, including the custom and habit, action and behavior of every member of the cultures in reality. Monographs may accompany with the texts for ethnographic films. We are aiming at contributing to the better understanding of ethnic cultures that are popularized in the mass media.
Education is one of the most important function of the museum.
It must be done in a delightful and sensitive way through providing diverse and updated information about various social and cultural events. The museum may serve as a school for visitors of various ages, social statuses and occupations. The contents for educational purposes of VME are varied. First of all, VME wants to convey to visitors a message of love of the Vietnam country and its peoples, the respect and pride of their cultural heritage. Disregarding the residue of the meaning of the word that refers to something that passed, the cultural heritage is not anything ancient nor far-reaching.
