Located in Hong Hai Ward, Halong City, Quang Ninh Museum is one of key works celebrating the 50th anniversary of the province’s establishment. It is expected to become a new attraction in Halong.

Designed by a Spanish architect, Mr. Salvador Perez Arroyo, Quang Ninh Museum is located on an area of nearly 24,000 square meters with unique architecture, charming space and plenty of valuable artifacts. The project has a total investment of over VND 900 billion, including 3 blocks connected together by an overhead bridge system. Inspired by the iconic coal, a typical mineral of Quang Ninh Province, the work is a symbol on the most beautiful coastal road in Halong City. Especially, the building is assembled with 14,000 square meters of glasses that can be resistant to temperature changes. Thanks to bold architecture, the building is like a giant mirror reflecting the image of the world natural heritage Halong Bay.
