Very well presented museum

The Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture is one of the first museums built in Vietnam by the French. The main building was constructed in 1915. It evokes some motifs of French colonial architecture in the early twentieth century and resembles the image of the Champa temples - towers in Central Viet Nam. Visitors will have the opportunity to contemplate more than 400 artifacts on display, including National Treasures and others representing the masterpieces of Champa sculpture in ten centuries (from 5th to 15th). The artifacts were made in a variety of materials, such as sandstone, terracotta, and metal. Grounded in various themes from fertility symbols, deities, mythical animals and architectural decoration from the Hindu and Buddhist, they express the features of cultural and religious values of the Champa people over many generations. The Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture is a must-see destination for visitors wishing to discover the culture and heritage of Central Viet Nam.

Wow! Cham Sculptures in one place
I love museums especially ones with artifacts and sculptures. This is one interesting museum in the heart of Da Nang, just across the Han River. Lots of interesting sculptures to view. The museum contains large collections of Cham sculptures. In spite of all the beautiful sculptures and collections, the place needs to be upgraded/renovated. Many cracks on the walls and appears run down. Hence, my 4 star review.

Learn about the Cham period
This museum is located next to the Dragon Bridge and as it was raining we spent an hour or so here. It opened its doors in 1903 and has been expanded several times. There are also several sculptures in the garden. We had difficulty in finding our way out of the museum as the exit passageway is a little hidden. Cham sculptures were collected and brought here from several areas in Vietnam. Only i ike to mention that very few of the exhibits are described in English
