Museum of Tarot (in short term, or sometime Museum of Tarot and Oracle, or officially Museum of Tarot and Occult), founded in 2016 (will officially open in 2017), is located in Can Tho City, in the south of Vietnam. The museum has three themes: Tarology, Cartomancy and Occult. The museum has a large variety of objects from 15th century to 21th century. The museum is established in an ancient noble hotel, called “the citron house”, under the Vietnamese renaissance style. This house is sacrificed for the museum by an old couple of lawyer, Anh Ngo and Duong Ho in 2016.
That Can Tho had a place like this, I still can;'t believe it. A collection like this I would expect in Berlin or London ......Philippe the founder, occult historian and author guided us through this little packed full museum, sharing his amazing knowledge with us. Unforgettable. Once more, thank you Philippe !!

A beautiful very old temple, a place of worship to be respected. Take your shoes off, step over the threshold not on the board that runs across. In all religious temples and pagodas ask if you can take photos, these places werent built for tourists they are part of the culture and serve the needs of the population, we are priveleged to be allowed in them. Many beautiful pagodas in Vietnam all good places to go and contemplate your own life and to pray for others and the world in general. Go there with a good heart and a willingness to learn and you will come away better for the experience.

Good exhibits on Khmer and Chinese contributions to the Mekong Delta's development, also interesting is a small exhibit on local watercraft.
A great walk through time in Vietnam. Well put together and ordered to give visitors a good understanding of the history of Vietnam, albeit maybe a little controversial in later events!
