     The establishment of Museum of Local Products is considered as a a creative way to introduce and promote indigenous values. In addition to historical documents, the museum also displays OCOP (One commune One product) products that are popular with many tourists and chosen as souvenirs when visiting Hoi An. The museum further affirms the role of Hoi An in the trade of spices and local products through historical periods; thereby contributing to the preservation and promotion of the precious value of nature - culture - people of Hoi An and Quang Nam. This is also consistent with the principles and purposes of the Hoi An thematic museum system according to the current international perspective.
