Around 250 of these are written documents on traditional arts genres and practices, such as tuong (traditional opera), Bai Choi singing (a popular folklore in the central and south central regions of Vietnam), and whale worshipping festival.
A new logo of the museum also made debut on the occasion. The logo is designed with a circle on the outside, representing the sky, and a square in the middle, which symbolizes the earth.
The logo center is a stylized image of Dien Hai Citadel special national historical monument, surrounded by three letters D, N, M, which stands for Da Nang Museum.
The number of visitors to Da Nang in 2018 increased 15.5% on-year to an estimated 7.6 million, including 2.8 million foreigners, a 23.3% increase from a year earlier, according to the municipal Department of Tourism.
Of the total tourists to Vietnam's central city, 4.7 million were domestic holidaymakers, an 11.2% increase compared to 2017. Arrivals by sea and air in the reviewed period recorded annual increases of 66% and 48.7% respectively.
