Alexandre Yersin (1863-1943) was a Swiss-born French physician, bacteriologist, and adventurer with a deep affection for Vietnam, particularly Khanh Hoa province, which he regarded as his second homeland.
At the age of 28, Yersin first arrived in Nha Trang in 1891, driven by a passion for exploring tropical forests.
Known locally as Mr. Tu, Yersin was the first European to offer health services in the region.
The museum features a modern design, incorporating advanced technology and equipment to ensure energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness in both operation and maintenance.
Once completed, the museum will become a multi-functional socio-cultural facility in the province, offering an engaging learning and experience destination for visitors./.
