About the the antiquities gallery

The largest room in the collection, and the widest span of time: the earliest pieces are Champa, the latest is Saigon silver from the middle of the 20th century, with most falling between the 18th and 20th.

We arrange it in five groups — jewellery, court objects, household ware, decorative and ritual pieces, coin and bullion — so that what a thing was for stays visible. A silver box beside a silver bowl says more than the two of them sorted by date.

Ancient Champa Rings

Ancient Champa Rings

Spanning approximately the 7th to the 15th centuries (the flourishing period of the Champa Kingdom). Some pieces with rudimentary designs (such as spiral shapes) may belong to an earlier period (late Sa Huynh, approximately the 1st to 5th centuries). See details
