Museum of Vietnamese History

The Museum of Vietnamese History, located on the grounds of the botanic gardens, shows the evolution of the nation's culture from the Bronze Age through the early 20th century.

The museum's structure was constructed in 1929 and combines French and Asian architectural styles. The exhibits include artifacts from former ethnic groups in Vietnam, such as the Dong Son, Funan, Khmer, and Cham civilizations, and are developed over time. The sculptures made of stone and bronze, artifacts from Angkor Wat, and the well-preserved mummy are all truly interesting. In the small theater of the museum, water puppet shows are performed hourly for an additional cost (except during lunch).
