museum houses the most extensive collection of Cham art worldwide. In the past,
the capital of the Champa nation was located in Danang; other famous sites of
the Champa civilization include Tra Kieu, Dong Duong, My Son, and Thap Man.

The Museum of Cham Sculpture was built in Cham architectural style, using thin
lines that are simple and gentle. Cham architecture originates from the period
between the 5th and 15th centuries, when a matriarchal society prevailed. At
present, the museum displays approximately 300 sculptures, among which some are
made from terracotta. The sculptures were collected from Cham Temples and towers
throughout Central Vietnam, more specifically the area stretching from Quang
Binh to Binh Thuan. All the sculptures are displayed in ten showrooms named
after the localities where the pieces have been discovered. After viewing the
pieces in the showrooms, there are exterior exhibitions that can be visited
