About this audio guide
This guide to the Quang Ninh Museum in Ha Long follows architect Salvador Perez Arroyo's decision to wrap the building in black glass shaped like a raw lump of coal, since coal built this province. Construction began in 2012, though the museum's roots reach to a 1960 history museum renamed after the province took shape in 1963. Inside, you'll pass a whale skeleton on the first floor before climbing through wartime relics into a mock coal tunnel built to feel like the real mines nearby.
