Those are the precious relics leftover of the ancient kingdom of Champa, a civilization that has faded, but the remnants are still kept today. With terracotta construction techniques, outstanding sculpture art. With unique cultures. Besides the monuments, there are still museums, which still keep the artifacts. Sketch the works of art of a flourishing era in history.

The museum is located in the heart of the city, at the address: No. 02, 2/9 street, Da Nang City - Viet Nam. This place has been built for a long time, from 1919 by two French architects, Delaval and Auclair. In the process of building this project, there was a great contribution of archaeologist Henri Parmentier. He is a person who collects and researches cultural heritage.
