  • I loved it. Kids were bored. It's exactly what it says, an old school museum of ancient sculpture with small written plaques next to each saying what they are. As adults I found it interesting and helpful before we head to My Son, but it will not engage young kids for any length of time. It would be nice to see a bit more of the history of the Cham people used to contextualise the sculptures
  • Beautiful exterior architecture and garden, and spectacular Cham sculpture that is displayed well; however, the automatic motion sensor lighting at times presented unwelcome shadows. Folk craft displays are in need of better curation. Entrance: US$2.50
