About Cham Museum

The Cham Museum in Đà Nẵng houses the world's largest collection of Cham sculpture and sits in Hải Châu District, near the Han River. The idea for the museum dates back to 1902, and the archaeologist Henri Parmentier played a key role in bringing it to life. The original building, which opened in 1919, blends French architecture with traditional Cham elements. Over the years, the complex has been expanded several times to properly showcase its growing holdings from areas such as Mỹ Sơn, Trà Kiệu, and Bình Định. Today, the museum is not only an exhibition space but also home to a library, restoration workshops, and storage rooms. A popular tourist destination, it offers you a deep look into the cultural history of the Cham people.
