Review:
Located inside the National University of Hanoi, the Hanoi Zoological Museum, or Bao tang Dong vat, is a French-Colonial era collection of taxidermized specimens. There are three sections in the museum, and visitors can be guided through the exhibits by the museum’s director himself, Mr. Vu Ngoc Thanh. One of the most popular exhibits there is a large skeleton of an elephant. The rooms are filled with various other stuffed birds, fish, amphibians, and mammals. To explore the collection, visitors will have to call in advance and set up an appointment; there are no specified daily hours open to the public.
