central Vietnam, near the Han River.The establishment of a Cham sculpture museum in Da Nang
was first proposed in 1902 by the Department of Archaeology of EFEO. Henri Parmentier, a
prominent archaeologist of the department, made great contributions to the campaign for its
construction. Reportedly founded in 1915 as the Muse Henri Parmentier, its first building opened
in 1919 and was designed by two French architects, M. Deleval and M. Auclair, who were
inspired by Parmentier to use some traditional Cham elements in the composition. Prior to the
establishment of the museum, the site was known as the "garden of sculptures" and many Cham
sculptures that had been collected in Da Nang, Qung Nam and elsewhere had been brought there
over the preceding twenty years.
