Geological Museum

On the rocks

What we say:

One of two museums of its kind in the country, the Ho Chi Minh City Geological Museum was established in 1954 and sits on the corner of Nguyen Binh Khiem and Nguyen Huu Canh.

A small building, it still houses more than 20,000 samples of stones and minerals as well as a small collection of fossils.

The collection is split between two floors and presented in well-lit display cases.

Besides displays of rocks, the museum also explains Vietnamese geology and the geological evolution of the world.

There are tours daily.

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
