The ‘Tales from the Riverbank’ exhibition took place on Wednesday at the Museum of Da Nang, telling the stories about local residents which once lived in temporary stilt houses along the eastern bank of the Han River, in Nai Hien Dong Ward, Son Tra District. 

On display at the one-day event were a number of photos of these residents holding objects they have selected from the museum’s election, fishing tools for example. The displayed images told stories of their memorable lives in the past.

The exhibition was part of the research project on fishing heritage and livelihoods in Da Nang conduced by professor Graeme Were, the chair and professor of Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the UK-based University of Bristol.

The Museum of Da Nang is one of the 3 partners of this project.
