Dak Lak Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Buon Ma Thuot, the Dak Lak Museum feels like a portal into the soul of the Central Highlands. Its low-slung, modern building, inspired by the region's traditional longhouses, is a welcome respite from the city's buzz. Inside, you're immediately greeted by the rich scent of old wood and the sight of a stunning, full-scale replica of an ethnic minority communal house. The atmosphere is hushed and immersive, pulling you deeper into the stories of this unique land.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the incredible collection of over 300 M'Nong and Ede gongs, some displayed so you can almost hear their echoes. The life-size elephant with its detailed howdah is a showstopper for kids and adults alike. Look for the intricate weaving on traditional textiles and the powerful presence of ancient burial statues scattered throughout the grounds.

It's located at 02 Y Ngong in Buon Ma Thuot and is easy to fit into a morning or afternoon. The entry fee is very modest, making it one of the best value stops in the city.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a contemporary take on a traditional Rong house, with a soaring, boat-like roof and expansive use of natural materials that beautifully grounds it in its setting.
