Dong Dinh Museum

This guide to Dong Dinh Museum in Da Nang follows Doan Huy Giao, a television editor and artist who spent years trading for old pottery and stone tools that villagers had dug from their gardens or found washed up after storms along this coast and the Central Highlands. You'll hear how willow-leaf earrings among his finds turned out to be a form never before recorded in Vietnam, tied to the Sa Huynh culture's jar burials some twenty-five hundred years ago, alongside Cham pottery from the old citadel of Tra Kieu. Look for the stone, timber and real fishing boats that shape the building itself.
