Long An Palace, regarded as one of the most outstanding constructions in Hue City, has just been reopened for visitors since March 25 2012, after three years of a conservation project.

Long An place is situated on an area of 6,330 m2 and used as an historical museum - which houses about 10,000 antiques of Hue Royal Antiquities Museum. The artifacts are related to numerous aspects of Nguyen dynasty society, painting a holistic picture about life of this last feudal kingdom of Vietnam.

However, for the time being, only about 424 most unique artifacts of royal life of Nguyen Dynasty are displayed at this Palace.

Long An Palace was built under the time of King Thieu Tri (1841-1847) and considered one of the most featured constructions in Hue City. From the time it was completed, the palace has been used for various purposes, including worshiping site for Thieu Tri King, library and museum as seen today.
