Can Tho Museum, City museum in Ninh Kieu District, Cần Thơ, Vietnam.

The Can Tho Museum extends across 2,700 square meters over two floors, containing more than 5,000 objects that represent the nature and society of the region.

Founded in 1976 and officially named Can Tho Museum in 1992, the institution documents the local resistance against French colonization and the Vietnam War.

The exhibitions present artifacts from three main ethnic groups of the Mekong Delta region: the Kinh, Hoa, and Khmer, along with elements of the Oc Eo culture.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Thursday from 8 AM to 11 AM and 2 PM to 5 PM, with weekend hours including evening sessions from 6:30 PM to 9 PM.

The museum collection includes eight Buddha statues carved from fossil amber that display color changes when exposed to different lighting conditions.
