Photograph by David Coleman. The Royal Palace Museum, or Haw Kham, in Luang Prabang was built in 1904 during the French colonial era as a residence for King Sisavang Vong. Today, it stands as a museum, offering visitors insight into Lao history, culture, and the former monarchy. The image captures tourists on the building's main stairs, highlighting its popularity as a cultural attraction. The palace's architecture blends traditional Lao and French colonial styles, reflecting Luang Prabang's unique historical influences. Its ornate facade and grand entrance make it a focal point for visitors exploring the UNESCO World Heritage city. The museum houses royal artifacts, religious objects, and art collections that span Laos' rich cultural heritage. Luang Prabang, situated at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, was the royal capital of Laos until 1975. The Royal Palace Museum's location at the heart of the old town makes it a key stop on most tourist itineraries. Its well-preserved state and comprehensive exhibits provide valuable insights into Lao royal life and the country's transition to a modern era.
