Situated just a few short kilometres from the town centre, The Lam Dong Museum is the centre of Dalat and the surrounding area's ethnic heritage. Housed in a large pink coloured building the museum is home to artefacts like musical instruments and clothing which have been excavated from local archeological digs.
ere are also two full sized replicas of the old stilt houses in which the hill tribe people lived.
The admission fee is well worth paying and this is in fact one of the best attractions in the town. It is superbly maintained and is a real comprehensive look at the ethnic tribes of the area. The two storey building is packed of interesting exhibits.
In the entrance all is a large statue of Vietnam’s famed leader, Ho Chi Minh and documents belonging to the famous immunologist, Alexandre Yersin. Exhibits are explained in both Vietnamese and English. The gardens also contain many interesting exhibits including a huge replica gong, stone sculptures and children folk games.

I have been developing the InSeAsia website for three years. It genuinely is a labour of love. I have lived in Southeast Asia for 9 years and have no plans to ever leave.
I am extremely grateful to anyone who follows me, up votes, comments or re-steems my work.
Come and check me out. If ever you come to Saigon, Vietnam get in touch and we can meet up.
