Small but rich with historical records. Educative documentaries make me acquaintance with the craftsmanship of bell-making!

4 stars

This museum is very interesting with the history of many bells, specially the big bell at the New York gate. The other, many bells of the churches in Vietnam was made from this factory.

5 stars

I enjoyed my visit to the Paccard Museum and Foundry very much - so informative, and made possible by the excellent tour guide who made me feel very welcome there. Nice cafe and gift shop, too!
