Da Nang has many museums where visitors can see and learn a lot. Generally, their exhibitions have different themes, varying in stages of the history, groups of people (communities) having lived in the city, art styles and more. Around the oldest section of the city, it’s possible to explore a couple of leading museums. All are close to each other and near other top attractions, providing a convenience for planning a trip. Only a short ride is needed to get to one museum from the other, if travelers don’t walk. The next advantage of Da Nang city’s museums is its entrance ticket, cheap and without pre-booking requirements. Just come, buy and discover objects that are small but tell a great story.
This article introduces all museums in Da Nang, including both the government and private owned venues. The main part of them is open in the daytime only and an entrance ticket is required in many places, but often cheap. The most expensive museum is the Bana Hills Wax Museum, because visitors need to pay the admission fee to enter the Ba Na Hills and then buy another ticket to see the statues. It’s also furthest and sits at the highest elevation. Due to being unique, the Cham Sculpture Museum is most visited. Besides things displayed in four walls, the spoils of war in the Ho Chi Minh Museum, outdoor structures in the Dong Dinh Museum or bamboo forests in Son Tra Tinh Vien make the visitor’s tour more stunning.
