Danang Museum

Why Danang Museum is special ?

Museum of Da Nang was founded in 1989 and was originally located on Le Duan Street. In 2005 it was relocated to 24 Tran Phu Street where it officially opened on 26 April 2011.

The new museum incorporates the reconstructed walls of a citadel built by Emperor Minh Mang at the beginning of the 19th century. The three-floor museum houses more than 2,500 photos and artefacts, more than 1,900 of which are original and have been collected from Da Nang and neighbouring areas since national reunification in 1975. Many are on public display for the first time.

As they enter the museum, visitors will be impressed by a large sail-shaped relief representing Da Nang’s founding history.
