"Memories of a Kingdom Central Vietnam was once the seat of the Kingdom of Champa, which held sway over the area for over 1000 years before being absorbed and annexed by the Vietnamese state in 1832. This fine museum has the world's largest collection of Cham artefacts and is a must visit for anyone with a wider interest in the heritage of the area."

Huge Museum! Make sure you have time to spend here. We picked a rainy afternoon and it worked out perfectly. There is so much to see, they even opened up their storage room to the public to view. So much history and culture is on displayed here. Good historical documentation of the 100 year history of the site and museum also. So very nice that these artifacts are so well preserved and taken care of. Really beautiful all around. Entry fee was 60,000 per person, February 2025 on a Monday.

Fantastic museum, and much larger than I expected. I was here about 3 hours. Beautiful sculpture displayed simply with some effective lighting, and signs indicating which are the national treasures. There is an audio tour available via QR code in English, French, and Vietnamese that you can use your phone to listen to via the free WiFi, which helped provide context, but there were numerous tours going round in various other languages, and written information on signs for the important pieces. Toilets are clean but a little run down.

This was the biggest highlight of a rainy Da Nang for me. A genuinely good museum and not small either. You’ll see things dating back to the 9th century, and get an idea about the historical empire of this region. It helps make sense of the temples in the Da Nang region too, like Mai Son temple. It’s nice being able to visualise and cast your mind back centuries in Southeast Asian history. 60k dong entry and they have bathrooms.

A must-visit museum with incredible value Cham Museum is an absolute gem and offers exceptional value for money. The collection of sculptures is simply breathtaking, and the museum’s 100-year history adds a fascinating layer of context. It’s amazing to see how the French gathered all these exquisite pieces into one well-curated space. In my opinion, it surpasses most of the $40 exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in terms of both quality and cultural significance. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to fully enjoy the serene atmosphere and avoid crowds. Don’t miss this!

This museum is a nice complement to the Cham ruins in My Son given that most of the statues from there (and other sites) were relocated to here. This museum seems to be a bit underrated on Google because people complain about the lack of A/C but the actual collection is excellent.

First I wasn’t that excited about this museum but it turned out to be really interesting and it’s really impressive that these Cham sculptures and relics date back the 10th - 14th century. Upstairs there’s also an interesting display on Cham people, you can learn that they are matrilineal and find out about how they live, dress, etc. All in all, this museum is totally worth a visit if you’re in Da Nang!

Fantastic museum of the Cham people when they ruled central Vietnam. Unfortunately, they somehow migrated away and the temple complex came to ruin. The beautiful discovery of this place is a great destination.

Good to learn about the Vietnam history. But it would be great if they move all the things back to the original place.
