The Expressive Mannequins At The Hoi An Heritage Museum

There's a nice little museum in Hoi An dedicated to traditional crafts and industries, a place that gives you a good look at life in the town from way back when. Think agriculture, textiles, maybe a dabble in silkworms.

To illustrate certain events, the museum uses mannequins. Not just re-purposed clothing store blank stares, these figures bring the look.

Tailor.

Oozing Vietnamese attitude.

The Atmospheric Ruins Of Mỹ Sơn Near Hoi An, Vietnam

Mỹ Sơn is a nice collection of Hindu temples, dating to the 4th to 14th century AD, give or take a billion years. No matter the time of construction, the temples in heavy disrepair have a nice ominous jungle quality, while the more intact temples hint at how intricate architecture once was. The temple theme is Shiva worship.

The area has a teenie weenie Angkor feel to it, with an added splash of lush, overgrown jungle. A rainy day helps with the mystical atmosphere

The jungle, taking over.
