Beginning in 1909, Golden Hall was the royal residence of King Sisavang Vong in Luang Prabang, Laos. After the dissolution of the monarchy in 1975, it became the National Museum. Locals call it Haw Kham. Several wonderful religious and royal exhibits are inside, including the gilded Prabang. This treasure is a 14th century Buddha and the city’s namesake. Oddly, you will also find lunar rocks that were a gift from President Nixon.
