Huế Museum of Royal Antiquities

Why go

Vietnam's Department of Cultural Heritage register says the museum was founded in 1923 as the Musée Khải Định, occupies grounds of about 6,500 m², and uses the Long An palace as its main exhibition building, with an outdoor display area. The register lists more than ten thousand objects in collections that include Nguyễn-era porcelain, court costume, seals, lacquered and gilded wood, bronzes, ritual musical instruments, cannons, stone steles and statues, and Champa artefacts. It gives the address as 3 Lê Trực, Đông Ba ward, Huế. This record is the museum, not the Long An palace building (Wikidata Q10840231) that houses it; opening, tickets and the managing body were not read, because the museum's own site did not answer.
