Nestled in the Quan The Am (Avalokitecvara) Pagoda in the Marble Mountains Tourist Area, a special national relic site in Da Nang, the Buddhist Cultural Museum, the first of its kind in Viet Nam, is very inviting to locals and visitors arriving in the city.

Let’s have a closer look at this attractive museum through some amazing photos, captured by our freelance photographer Kha Thinh.

On display at the museum are hundreds of Buddhist antiques which have been enshrined in the pagoda and collected by the pagoda’s former abbots.

The displayed exhibits feature Buddhist arts along with Buddhist culture of Viet Nam and some other Asian countries.

The artifacts at the museum are made from many different materials like bronze and jade.

Each of displayed artifacts carries an array of Buddhist stories, legends and beliefs.
