National Oceanographic Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:40:49

Housed in a grand French-colonial building in the port district of Cau Da at the far south end of Nha Trang, this poorly maintained museum has 60,000 or so jars of pickled marine specimens, stuffed birds and sea mammals, and displays of local boats and fishing artefacts. There are tanks with reef fish (and sharks) but also live seals kept here in pitiful enclosures.
