Van Lang University’s Union Celebrates International Women’s Day

Joining the vibrant atmosphere of International Women’s Day and the “Van Lang Ao Dai Week,” Van Lang University Union organized a visit to the Ao Dai Museum on March 9, 2025, which aimed to honor the traditional beauty of Vietnamese women and aroused pride in the national costumes.

At the Ao Dai Museum, Van Lang University's lecturers and staff were immersed in a fascinating exhibition space that was creative, attractive, and imbued with national identity. Through admiring the museum’s extensive collection of artifacts and historical records, the lecturers and staff of Van Lang University had the opportunity to explore the interesting story of the Ao Dai throughout Vietnamese history.

The museum’s traditional architecture is nestled in greenery, which helps the Van Lang University lecturers to unwind and recharge. Adding to the experience was the weekend countryside market, where the lecturers and staff enjoyed the familiar and rustic flavors of Vietnamese countryside cuisine.
