Lam Dong Museum
Bảo tàng Lâm Đồng
A provincial museum covering the history of Da Lat's highland Indigenous peoples, the Central Highlands gong culture and the French colonial period. Admission is cheap.
Lam Dong Museum is on Hùng Vương Street, east of Xuan Huong Lake. It is the best place to learn about the history and culture of the highlands where Da Lat sits. The exhibits present the longhouses, costumes, farming tools and ritual ceremonies of Indigenous peoples such as the K'Ho, Mạ and Chu Ru. They also display the Central Highlands gong culture, which is listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and archaeological artifacts unearthed in places such as Cát Tiên. There are also historical materials on the founding of Da Lat and the French colonial era. Next to the museum stands a preserved French-style villa from the Bảo Đại era, which visitors can also tour. Entry costs about 20,000–30,000 VND. Opening days are subject to on-site notices.
