France’s Nord de Calais region has provided 65,000 Euros to the Cham museum in the central city of Da Nang to collect and preserve the Cham culture.
The project will run until the end of 2007 and also cover training courses for the museum’s cadres.
The museum opened in 1916 in an open-sided building, and it contains the most comprehensive collection of about 450 objects of Cham art in the world.
The museum is full of statues, friezes, altars, and other items removed from Cham sanctuaries and cities, including My Son, the most significant Cham region. The oldest items in the Da Nang museum are from My Son (4th-11th century) and Tra Kieu (4th-10th century). Other items come from Binh Dinh province (11th-15th century). There are images of elephants, lions, and Hindu deities made of sandstone and other materials.
