Buddha in Marble Mountains CavesCham Museum
If you only see one place in Danang, this is it. This Museum was built in 1915 and it is the premier collection of Champa sculpture in the world. The museum, which was designed by two French architects, Delaval and Auclair, imitates many well-known features of Champa towers and temples. The museum was extended in 1935 in order to be able to display artifacts excavated at Tra Kieu which was capital of the Champa kingdom until about the year 1000 AD.
The Champa Museum now has nearly 2000 large and small sculptures. Of these, 288 are on display inside the museum, 187 objects in the garden and more than 1.200 objects are reserved in the storehouse. Most of the sculptures in the museum are original and mainly of three kinds of materials, including sandstone, terracotta and bronze. The majority of these sculptures from the 12th to the 15th century are made of sandstone with different art styles.
The price of admission to the museum is 20,000 dong
