Museum of Sa Huỳnh Culture
Museum in Hoi An
The museum is dedicated to showcasing the prehistoric Sa Huỳnh culture, featuring terracotta artifacts discovered in the region. Established in 1994, the museum houses a unique collection of artifacts from the Sa Huynh culture, believed to be the earliest settlers of the port town. These early inhabitants engaged in trade and cooperation with countries in Southeast Asia, South India, and China. The collection offers valuable insights into the burial customs, concepts of life and death, the historical development of the region, and its cultural connections. Particularly noteworthy is the collection from Bai Ong on Cham Island, which dates the Sa Huynh culture back 3,000 years. This collection is recognized as the largest and most remarkable assemblage of Sa Huynh artifacts in Vietnam.
