The opening of the museum is part of 25th anniversary of UNESCO’s recognition of Hoi An ancient town as a World Cultural Heritage Site (December 4, 1999 - 2024).
The museum covers an area of approximately 240m², showcasing four main themes: an overview of Hoi An and Quang Nam local products, Hoi An as a hub for spices and local specialties, a presentation of typical products from Hoi An and Quang Nam (such as bird's nest, lao leaves, pepper, areca, cinnamon, tea, and agarwood), and the development of Hoi An's tradition.
On this occasion, the Center for Heritage Conservation in Hoi An launched the book "Spices and Local Products of Hoi An, Quang Nam," featuring 38 articles on its historical significance and preservation issues, offering valuable insights into the region's cultural history.
