The museum, the first of its kind in Vietnam, displays around 200 Buddhist antiques, including a statue made of precious white jade in the shape of the Bodhisattvas holding a baby in her arms, and a set of eight Buddha statues made of bronze in the 9th century.
It is expected to become an attractive destination for tourists who visit Danang’s Ngu Hanh Son complex.
