A surprisingly interesting provincial museum - that's crying out for some love.

Note: The information provided in this review was correct at time of publishing but may change. For final clarification please check with the relevant service

This is one of Vietnam's more interesting provincial museums on account of its collection of Cham artefacts - including some beautiful carved pieces. A distressing amount of the Cham collection is piled up randomly outside, exposed to the elements - probably not the safest place for rare artefacts. Other exhibits cover the region's natural history and Binh Dinh's role in Vietnam's communist revolution. A Honda 67' has pride of place in this collection. Some pieces are captioned in English but contextual information is scarce.
