The Marble Mountains, also
referred to as Ngu Hanh Son or Mountains of the Five
Elements, consist of five marble mountains: Thuy Son
(water) which is the highest, Moc Son (wood), Kim Son
(metal), Tho Son (soil), and Hoa Son (fire). The Marble
Mountains are famous for their traditional stonemasonry
activities. In Dong Hai village close to Thuy Son, 600
families chisel stone statues, jewellery, and art work.
Stone from the Marble Mountains has been exported to
many countries.
The Cham Museum was built in 1915 with the financial
support of the French Far-East Research Institute in
Vietnam. At present, the museum displays approximately
300 sculptures, among which some are made from
terracotta from the period between the 5th and 15th
centuries. The works were collected from Cham temples
and towers throughout Central Vietnam, more specifically
the area stretching from Quang Binh to Binh Thuan. All
the sculptures are displayed in ten showrooms named
after where the pieces were discovered.
