    Great contemporary art & architecture
    It was ok to visit the town: families selling ceramics and you are able to try it yourself: nice gesture. We were absolutely surprised by the Terracotta Park: what a great way to show the possibilities of this material! Great garden with beautiful statues, a part with miniature famous buildings if you like that kind of thing.
    We really liked the contemporary architecture (beautiful natural light fall) of the buildings and the displayed contemporary art. Next to the beautifully displayed history of ceramics in this region it was an absolute joy to wander about and experience the creativity of the different artist. Buy the extra ticket and visit the museum if you have any interest in contemporary art. We absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop taking pictures :)

    History of a somewhat forgotten culture of central Vietnam
    It’s another old two-storey house on the main street of the Old Town, but inside are artefacts and placards talking about the Sa Huynh people. These were the natives who inhabited the land before the Cham arrived and built the more impressive monuments like My Son. Most of the displays are pottery, some large burial urns, some fragments. Those are not all that enthralling, but they have very good signage in English explaining the Sa Huynh and their culture. It’s an interesting slice of ancient history and the view from the balcony on the upper floor is fantastic: down on the main street with the lanterns strung among the balconies. If you have an extra ticket in your Hoi An pass, this is a good place to use it.

    A Fascinating Museum
    I was surprised that this museum had very few visitors when we were there. There are several displays of the old physicians at work, taking the pulse, massaging the neck and several displays of the herbs they used to dispense. The museum consists of 2 floors and it is easy to spend an hour here looking at all the exhibits.

    Wonderfully cool and relaxing wine cafe
    Tucked behind a small gem museum (which itself is not thoroughly impressive, but it was interesting to see the rocks that many gems come from) and a linked gem store is the cozy Gem Cafe. The cafe includes a few bar-height seats in two covered areas and several cushioned seats in the beautiful atrium area of the traditional house. The atrium area has a water wall on one end, and plenty of greenery and bamboo keep the area cool(-ish) and shaded in the heat of the day (as do the upper floors around it). The cafe has wonderful jazzy music playing, which adds to the relaxation. (I recognized actual jazz as well as jazz versions of rock/pop music // also soft rock and blues mixed in.)

    Glasses of wine seemed to range from VND 125000-165000, but there was a special with a glass for VND 90000 when I visited and it was an enjoyable wine.

    This is simply a nice place to relax, especially in the heat of the day. I feel like the main seating area would remain pretty but would be unusable when it is raining -- since there is very limited seating under a roof -- but I do no’t know for sure and it is otherwise excellent.

    For what it is worth, there is also a gem sculptures museum upstairs that is the only part of the museum that requires a ticket.. I did not try it, though.
