Close-up of Da Nang Museum after unprecedented major renovation

After about 3 years of implementing the project to change the function of the Governor's Palace (at 42 Bach Dang), the new Da Nang Museum has been revealed. Although not yet inaugurated, in recent days, this project with strong French architectural imprint has attracted many people and tourists to visit and take pictures.

According to the records, currently the two facade blocks on Bach Dang Street have been "repainted" with a layer of blue-white paint. This paint color stands out more than the old yellow color before, so it also attracts more attention from the people.

The renovated and restored blocks of houses have also become sharper. Notably, the highlight is the railings and windows in the classic style from the French colonial period, which have also been repainted to look very eye-catching.

To facilitate sightseeing, some main and side doors have been replaced with glass doors. Meanwhile, some windows are stylized with elegant wooden panels.

Currently, in the area of the newly built block of houses on Tran Phu Street, workers are also busy constructing. The shape of the block of houses with large woven panels also attracts the attention of many people, promising to be an ideal check-in point of Da Nang City in the near future.

Notably, according to the design, to create an open space, the 3 adjacent buildings will not have fences. Before the Lunar New Year 2023, after paving the ground and sidewalks, the construction unit removed the hard fences and planted trees to create soft fences. With beautiful architecture, the museum area is no different from a park that attracts people to come and play, entertain...

The project to renovate and upgrade blocks 42, 44 Bach Dang and 31 Tran Phu to build Da Nang Museum started in mid-2021, aiming to create infrastructure to receive and display artifacts of the current museum (located in the core area of the special national relic Dien Hai citadel). The project is deployed on a total area of 8,686 ^m2 , with a total investment of nearly 505 billion VND.

The choice of 42 Bach Dang, which used to be the 120-year-old Governor's Palace, as the Da Nang Museum was highly approved by public opinion and the industry, because this is a project bearing the strong mark of French architecture. The project itself is a historical relic that has witnessed many ups and downs of the land and people of Da Nang.
