Hoi An Museum

This small landmark, also known as the Museum of History and Culture, is situated on the same grounds as the Quan Yin Pagoda. The temple, which was initially constructed in the 1600s for the Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, is still beautiful, even though it passed over the years.

To have a deeper knowledge of Hoi An's history and the historical and religious events that have formed the city over the period of 2,000 years, it is worthwhile to visit both the temple and the museum. The four sections of the museum's collection cover Hoi An's history as a commercial port, the Vietnam War, the city's rebirth, and modern times. Although not quite as numerous as those on display at the Museum of Trade Ceramics, ceramics are widely available here. Don't skip going to the museum's top level after exploring the collections to enjoy one of the outstanding 360º views of the old town and the fresh wind.
