Hue Museum of Royal Fine Arts

This museum provides a fascinating look into the culture and history of the city and is housed inside the ancient Long An Palace. The vast collection of over 10,000 items consists of everything from silver and ceramics to furniture, Phap Lam enameled metal art, a huge amount of paintings, and complex murals. It also includes the personal items and royal clothing of former Vietnamese Emperors.

The primary exhibition space is known as Long An palace. It occupies a 1.200 square meter space in the center of the museum and serves as an antique display area. More than 300 items in up to 16 collections, including gold, glazed terra-cotta, and porcelain, may be found both within and outside the Long An palace. Many royal antiquities from the Nguyen dynasty were used to serve the kings and other royals. All exhibits include English labels, and many also provide background information to help visitors comprehend the exhibit's history and use. Although photography is not permitted inside the museum, there are many photo opportunities to be found throughout the one-story wooden palace and the beautiful gardens that surround it.
