Nhà cổ Huỳnh Thuỷ Lê
About This Museum
People come to this old house not just for its architecture, but for the romantic legend of the wealthy Chinese man and his French lover, a story that inspired Marguerite Duras's novel 'The Lover'. Stepping inside feels like entering a beautifully preserved time capsule from the late 19th century. The fusion of Eastern and Western design elements is immediately striking, creating a unique and opulent atmosphere. It’s a quiet, reflective spot that connects you directly to Sa Đéc's rich cultural history.
Collection Highlights
Look for the ornately carved antique furniture, the family altar with its original relics, and old photographs that tell the Huỳnh Thuỷ family story. Don't miss the second-floor balcony, which offers a lovely view over the courtyard.
