Review & FAQ:

Lao National Museum in Vientiane is located within an old French colonial building that is as much part of history as the exhibits inside it. Visitors will find a wide and varied collection of artifacts from Laos throughout history, from Khmer sculptures to dinosaur bones that have been found within the region. The ground floor is dedicated to more ancient items and contains an eclectic mix, whereas the upper floor is more detailed, focused on the French colonial period, the presence of American troops during the Vietnam War, and the onset of revolution and communism in the 20th century.
