Quang Ninh Museum
Quang Ninh Museum is a striking black-glass modern building on the Ha Long waterfront, housing exhibits on the province's geology, coal-mining industry, ethnic minority cultures, and the natural history of Ha Long Bay itself. The building's architecture — designed to resemble a piece of coal or a mirror reflecting the bay depending on interpretation — is as much a draw as the collection inside.
It's a solid rainy-day option or a way to add context to what you'll see on a bay cruise, particularly the geology exhibits explaining how the karst formations came to be.
