Speaking at the opening ceremony, Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Trung Chinh said that in 2020, the city decided to move the Da Nang Museum out of the special national relic Dien Hai Citadel and use the headquarters of the Da Nang City People's Council (No. 42, 44 Bach Dang), formerly the Governor's Palace built in the 1890s, as the new Da Nang Museum. This is a decision of historical significance marking a turning point in the journey of building, preserving and promoting cultural values bearing the imprint of Da Nang heritage in particular and Quang Nam in general.

Receiving the support and consensus of the city government and people, as well as domestic historical and cultural researchers; determining the renovation and construction of the Da Nang Museum from a particularly important historical building, the city's functional agencies have conducted careful research to preserve the previous architecture in the most complete way; at the same time, the newly built areas are implemented in a modern architectural language, in harmony with the landscape, creating a unique and impressive architectural highlight on the banks of the Han River.
