Bảo Tàng Côn Đảo

The Bảo Tàng Côn Đảo is a museum in the Côn Đảo archipelago holding thousands of exhibits including documents, photographs, and artifacts spanning different periods. The collection traces the development of the islands through various phases of history to the present day.

The museum preserves records and objects from when the islands served as a prison during French colonial rule starting in 1862. This period shaped the history and identity of the archipelago in lasting ways.

The halls display personal belongings and letters from former prisoners, showing how they endured their time on the island. Visitors can sense the human stories behind the exhibits and the resilience shown by those who were held here.

The museum is accessible by foot through paths on the island and can be visited as part of a day trip. Plan enough time to explore the different exhibition areas thoroughly.

The museum features dioramas and audiovisual installations that recreate daily life within the prison system, allowing visitors to imagine what conditions were like. These immersive displays make the history tangible and emotionally understandable.
