The museum was built in 1915 with a contribution from Henri Parmentier, a prominent archaeologist. In mid-1919, the museum preserved and displayed thousands of artefacts and sandstone statues found at many Chăm towers and excavations from the Sa Huỳnh Culture (between 2,500 and 3,000 years old) in the central region.
