My Son was once an important religious center of the Champa Kingdom, located in present-day Quang Nam Province, approximately 30 km west of the Tra Kieu site—one of Champa’s former capitals. Within the solemn atmosphere of a valley enclosed by rolling hills, over 70 towers were constructed here, most of which were dedicated to the deity Shiva.

Through initial excavations and research conducted between 1903 and 1904, Henri Parmentier and Charles Capeaux organized the towers at My Son into distinct groups, using letters to label the groups and numbers to identify individual towers within each group—for example, the main central tower was designated as Tower A1.

Inscriptions indicate that the earliest towers at My Son may have been built as early as the 4^th or 5^th century CE; however, the earliest surviving architectural structures today date to around the 7^th century CE (such as Group E). The majority of the best-preserved monuments date from the 10^th to 11^th centuries CE (Groups A, B, C, and D). The latest constructed towers at My Son date from around the 11^th to 13^th centuries CE (Group G and the central tower of Group B).

The artifacts displayed in the My Son Gallery represent various stylistic phases across the evolution of Cham sculptural art.
