Built between 1925 and 1932, this architecturally impressive museum was
formerly home to the École Française d’Extrême Orient. Its architect,
Ernest Hebrard, was among the first in Vietnam to incorporate a blend of
Chinese and French design elements. Exhibit highlights include bronzes
from the Dong Son culture (3rd century BC to 3rd century AD), Hindu
statuary from the Khmer and Champa kingdoms, jewellery from imperial
Vietnam, and displays relating to the French occupation and the
Communist Party.
