The Museum of Cham Sculpture in Da Nang opens every day from 7:30 to 17:00, weekends and holidays included, as of October 2026. Unless you belong to a free or discounted group below, you pay the standard ticket of VND 60,000 per person, a price that has applied to Vietnamese and foreign visitors alike since 3 July 2025.

Cham Museum ticket prices and opening hours

Bring your student card: the rate posted since July 2025 for students at universities, colleges and vocational schools is VND 20,000. When we asked in October 2026, the museum quoted VND 10,000 for students, so budget VND 20,000 and expect that or less. It quoted the adult ticket at the standard rate. School pupils get in free.

Free-entry groups

Carry proof with you, as free entry is granted to the groups here on showing it. Children under 16, and school pupils as defined by the 2019 Education Law, get in free, and so do Vietnamese citizens aged 60 and over. The list also covers Vietnamese citizens with a disability certificate, Vietnamese citizens entitled to preferential policies on access to culture, and diplomatic guests.

Free days for everyone

On these days, everyone enters free, whatever group they belong to. Da Nang Liberation Day on 29 March and Vietnam’s National Day on 2 September fall on fixed dates. Lunar New Year’s Day (the first day of Tet only) and Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day, the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month, follow the lunar calendar.

What you’ll see inside

Inside, the permanent exhibition spreads across ten galleries. Four of them take the names of Tra Kieu, My Son, Dong Duong and Thap Mam. Five more cover Quang Binh – Quang Tri – Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh – Kon Tum. The tenth gallery holds the Inscriptions.

English audio guide

You get a self-service audio guide in Vietnamese, English or French, and it runs in your browser. Here is how to start it:

1. Connect to the museum’s wifi.
2. Open a browser and go to chamaudio.com.
3. Pick a language and the object you want to hear about, either by scanning the codes posted next to the objects or by following the route the app suggests.

Guided tours for groups

Groups of 15 or more can book a guided tour in Vietnamese, English or French. Guides work two sessions every day, from 7:30 to 11:00 and from 14:00 to 17:00. Arrive in good time, though, as the desk stops taking new group registrations at 10:30 in the morning and 16:30 in the afternoon.

Plan ahead for a foreign-language guide: groups that want English or French, or that arrive with their own guide, should contact the museum at least 3 days before the visit. Ask at the reception desk or call 0236 3572 935.

Who the Cham Museum suits (and who should skip it)

Fans of Cham art and history are well served here, with ten galleries named for sites and provinces such as Tra Kieu, My Son and Quang Nam. English speakers are covered too, through the self-service audio guide in English. The museum also suits families with kids under 12, as long as an adult comes along.

Dress modestly for a religious art space, because the visiting rules do not allow visits after drinking alcohol or beer or using stimulants. For photos, leave the flash and tripod behind, since professional recording or filming needs the museum management’s permission first.

How to get to the Cham Museum

Head for number 02, 2 Thang 9 Street, Da Nang (so 02, duong 2-9), in Hai Chau district. Save the location before you set off: Open in Google Maps (opens in a new tab).

If you are coming straight from the airport or the train station, the museum sits about 3 km from the airport and 4 km from the train station.

When to go and how long

Any day works, since the museum opens daily from 7:30 to 17:00, public holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year) included. Budget 30 minutes to 1 hour, which is what most visitors spend.

Groups wanting a guide should time their visit to the guided sessions, which run until 11:00 in the morning and from 14:00 in the afternoon, and register at the desk before 10:30 or 16:30 respectively. The days when everyone gets in free appear in the ticket section above.

Nearby and how to combine it

For something to pair with the museum, Dragon Bridge crosses the Han River at the Le Dinh Duong/Bach Dang traffic circle, and the Dragon Bridge fire show guide has show nights and times. The Marble Mountains management board has its own office at 81 Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street, Da Nang, and the Marble Mountains guide has more.

One plan: visit in the afternoon, before the museum closes at 17:00. On a show night, carry on to the Dragon Bridge fire show in the evening, checking the Dragon Bridge guide above for nights and times. A longer day trip is covered in the Ba Na Hills guide, and more Da Nang sights and tours wait on the tours hub.

Before you go

Dress modestly for a religious art space, and do not visit after drinking alcohol or beer or using stimulants. Inside the exhibition area, there is no smoking, eating, drinking or wearing a raincoat. Keep your hands off the exhibits and their protective glass, and do not climb or sit on the display platforms.

Travel light: pets, weapons, explosives and other dangerous items stay out, and bulky luggage over 3 kg goes to the designated area. Your cash, jewellery and valuables remain your own responsibility. For photos, leave the flash and tripod behind, and ask the museum’s management first for professional recording or filming.

Kids under 12 need an adult with them, or supervision from their school or group organiser. As for tickets, everyone gets in free on four days a year: the first day of Tet, 29 March, Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day and 2 September.

On all other days, the ticket has been VND 60,000 since July 2025. Citizens with permanent residence in Da Nang, and university, college or vocational students, pay VND 20,000, while the groups listed above enter free.
