Great places to know about royal family, many great antique. DM me if you want to know about good local food of Hue and accommodation.

A place to store and deposit many historical artifacts, strong characteristics of Hue. Architecture, culture, fine arts, handicrafts... there are many things worth admiring. Come once to understand more about Hue

An quick stop here after the visit to the Citadel. Small entry fee of 50k VND. Good respite from the downpour.

It's a small but interesting museum exhibition. The interior of the building is very beautiful. Price 50.000 dong

A must-see museum, in my opinion, especially if you visit the imperial ckty because it is just next to it. It is not big, but it contains many marvelous artifacts. Ancient imperial thrones, bronze urns, delicate sophisticated decorations, and even nany old cannons in the courtyard garden. You need to take off your shoes to enter inside as this is considered like some sort of shrine. It takes a maximum of 30 minutes to see everything, and you can get here and from here with taxi/grab as it is on an accessible street.

Was a beautiful place to visit, nice mix of 1600-1900 items, and lots of personal Emperor's items. Discovered an ground cooling system that run in a square about 800metres - was amazing & they had no idea. Cannons from East Inies Company c1600s to c1800 Vietnamese smaller less powerful ones. Nice bells with cool little crickers acting as hanger. This is just Royal Museum, posting more later on the rest of complex.
