Binh Dinh Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:36:59

A small museum that concentrates on regional history. The entry hall focuses on local communism, including an interesting silk print (by Zuy Nhat, 1959) showing a fat French colonist sitting aloft mandarins, in turn supported by bureaucrats, and cruel bosses, with the struggling masses supporting the whole ensemble. The room to the left has a small natural history section and some Cham statues, while the rear room has the bulk of the impressive Cham collection.

The room to the right of the entrance is devoted to the American War, with local relics such as the ‘Spittoon of Heroic Vietnamese Mother Huynh Thi Bon’.
