hanging out with my close friends to visit Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture. You know, this
museum preserves sculptures featuring the cultural and spiritual life of the Cham people. There
are about 300 clay and stone objects on display at the museum. Besides, this museum has the
world’s largest collection of Cham artifacts. Sometimes I also visit the other Da Nang Museum.

museum, we can learn about history and people’s life here and all over the world. Next time you
