Premier Village Danang Resort Managed by Accor - Luxury family-friendly resort

In the heart of a modern and bustling city, Da Nang Museum stands out as a “living archive” of Central Vietnam’s history and culture. With its modern architecture, vivid exhibition spaces, and advanced interactive technologies, Da Nang Museum is an ideal stop for travelers who want to fully experience the spirit of the Quang region.

History and Development Process

Da Nang Museum is a place that preserves valuable historical memories and reflects the cultural and social development journey of the city through each period. Established in 1989 at 78 Le Duan Street, the museum initially operated as a modest exhibition space, primarily aimed at preserving historical artifacts and showcasing local identity to residents and visitors.

By 2011, to expand its scale and improve the visitor experience, Da Nang Museum was relocated to 24 Tran Phu Street – a location tied to Dien Hai Citadel, a nationally recognized special historical site. There, the museum served millions of visitors over more than a decade and became one of the city’s prominent cultural and educational landmarks.

However, to fully preserve the original value of Dien Hai Citadel and return space to this historic monument, the city government decided to move the museum to a newer and more modern facility at 31 Tran Phu and 42–44 Bach Dang Streets.

After a period of renovation and construction, the new Da Nang Museum was officially inaugurated on March 28, 2025 – coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the city’s liberation, carrying profound historical significance.

With its fresh and elegant look, advanced exhibition technologies, and expanded space, the museum not only continues its mission of preserving history but also promises to become one of Da Nang’s new must-visit tourism attractions.

Architecturally, the new museum is designed in a modern style that harmoniously combines contemporary architectural lines with traditional elements. The façade uses glass and eco-friendly materials to optimize natural lighting.

The interior exhibition space is divided into various scientific thematic areas, integrating interactive and virtual reality technologies. Notably, pathways, elevators, signage, and rest areas are logically arranged to ensure convenient accessibility for all visitors, including people with disabilities and the elderly.

This floor has a strong academic character, ideal for those passionate about ancient history.

Floor 2 – Historical Evidence from the Resistance Wars Against the French and Americans

The second floor takes visitors into a war memory space, preserving hundreds of artifacts, documentary photos, and authentic narratives of Da Nang’s brave resistance efforts.

Images of urban resistance movements, military equipment, campaign maps, and reconstructed battle spaces help visitors relive the heroic moments of national history.

Floor 3 – Cultural and Ethnic Diversity of Central Vietnam

The third floor highlights culture with content about customs, traditions, attire, traditional crafts, and spiritual life of Central Vietnam’s ethnic minorities. Model stilt houses, daily life items, and traditional instruments are displayed in clear, lively themes, bringing audiences closer to a rich and diverse culture.

Special Exhibitions and Modern Technologies Applied in the Museum

In addition to the three permanent content floors, the museum also features special exhibition areas with themes changing seasonally or according to historical-cultural events throughout the year.
