Lam Dong Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:37:40

This hillside museum is a stampede through Dalat's history, with a side trip into the natural history section, complete with outrageously bad taxidermy (look out for the angry wildcats!). Highlights include the wonderfully evocative photos of the Ma, K'Ho and Churu people and displays of their traditional dress, musical instruments and ceremonial altars. Also, check out the remarkable stone xylophones dating back over 3000 years. Propaganda about the government support for local indigenous groups is hard to swallow, though.
