Covering a substantial area of around 800 square meters, the Hoi An Museum of History and Culture is dedicated to preserving the town’s extensive heritage, chronicling its journey from an ancient trading port to a celebrated cultural center.

The museum houses an extensive collection that spans 335 exhibits, offering visitors a deep dive into the town’s rich history. These displays range from ancient prehistoric finds to significant artifacts from the Champa and Dai Viet eras, providing a layered exploration of Hoi An’s cultural and historical developments.

Visitors can navigate through various galleries, each dedicated to a different era in Hoi An’s history, from the Pre-Sa Huynh Culture Period through to the Dai Viet Period. The museum effectively captures the essence of each historical period, enabling guests to experience the evolution of the town over the centuries. Themes such as the Revolutionary Tradition, Post-Liberation Hoi An in 1975, and the Champa Period are among the diverse topics explored.

Hoi An’s rich tapestry of history is further illuminated by numerous archaeological finds unearthed in local riverbeds, seabeds, and both urban and suburban areas.
