The
Cham museum is located at the intersection of Trung Nu Vuong and
Bach Dang streets in Danang. It was built in 1915 with financial
support from the French Far-East Research Institute in Vietnam. This museum owns the most extensive collection of Cham art in the
world. In the past, the capital of the Champa nation was located in
present-day Danang. Other famous sites include Tra Kieu, Dong Duong,
My Son and Thap Man.
The
museum was built in Cham architectural style, using thin lines that
are simple and gentle. The style originates from the period between
the fifth and 15th centuries, when a matriarchal society prevailed. |
