Hoi An Museum was established in 1989, a historical and cultural museum, and is a place to display and introduce the history and cultural traditions of the land and people of Hoi An.

The museum displays 335 artifacts and documents related to Hoi An's history and culture through the following periods: pre-historic (2nd century and earlier); Champa (2nd - 15th century); Dai Viet (15th - 19th century).

In particular, many documents and artifacts from the Dai Viet period (from the end of the 15th century to the mid-19th century) are displayed, demonstrating Hoi An's role as an international trading port center in Dang Trong - Vietnam and the entire Southeast Asia region.

Hoi An Museum is designed with a scale of 4 floors, construction area of ^​​970m2 , total usable area of ^{​​2,245m2} . The unit is open every day of the week, annually welcoming nearly 70,000 domestic and international visitors to visit and research.

Over a long period of time, many items at Hoi An Museum have shown signs of deterioration and have not been exploited effectively due to limitations in functionality and inappropriate interior and exterior designs. The construction, repair and upgrading of works and items have encountered difficulties in terms of investment capital.

Vice Chairwoman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Thi Anh Thi assigned Hoi An Museum to advise and prepare all documents and procedures to present at the upcoming city meeting; and advise city leaders to allocate appropriate budget resources.

At the same time, the museum needs to clarify the urgency and scale of investment to propose appropriate funding allocation for the construction, repair and upgrading of many important items, in order to preserve and develop tourism in the city.
