National Oceanographic Museum of Vietnam offers interesting exhibits of local marine life, including over 20000 live and preserved ages animal.
Housed in a grand French-colonial building in the port district of Cau Da at the far south end of Nha Trang is the National Oceanographic Museum.It’s attached to the Oceanographic Institute founded in 1923, and signs direct you around the tanks of colourful live marine life and the 60,000 jars of pickled specimens that make up the collection. There are also stuffed birds and sea mammals and displays of local boats and fishing artefacts. Most of the signs have English translations, so a guide is unnecessary.
Some parts have glass panels to better observe the fish. But they are equally dirty and cannot provide a better visual effect of watching fish.
The National Oceanographic Museum of Nha Trang is on the outskirts of Nha Trang. It is about seven kilometers away from the city. It can be reached by taxi. It is not far from the pier for the Four Islands Tour, just around the corner. If you come with children, you should definitely come here. Many tropical fish are not seen in China. There are also many marine animal specimens on the second floor. It is worth watching carefully. It is a good place for popular science and low tickets. It's incredible.
