Museum of Oceanography
1 Cau Da, southern Nha Trang, Vietnam
At Cau Da, the Museum of Oceanography introduces the marine life of Vietnam through preserved specimens, skeletons and displays about fishing and coastal habitats. The large whale skeleton is a striking centrepiece, while smaller collections reward a slower look. Come primarily for the natural-history exhibits: the live-animal enclosures have drawn criticism for their size. It is a useful indoor stop near the southern waterfront, especially for visitors interested in the science behind the surrounding sea.
