Address

7 Lam Son Square

A French colonial building whose arched windows and carved facade face Lam Son Square. Most visitors photograph the outside, and getting in means holding a show ticket. The A O Show, mixing circus and dance, is the main evening performance now, so a ticket lets you see the foyer and auditorium too. The facade looks sharpest once the lights come on after dark.
