in Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Exhibits and research products of 100 scientists are displayed at the museum.
Each object carries its own message, reflecting a part of the scientist’s past
as well as the historical context of each period.
At a stall showcasing exhibits of Vietnamese education before and after the
August Revolution 1945, there are special objects about a generation of
Vietnamese students during the French colonial period, such as a learning
report of "Thanh Nam prodigy" Pham Dong Dien who later
became Professor Pham Dong Dien, Rector of Hanoi University of Science
and Technology-one of the figures assigned by the Ministry of
National Defence to research weapons serving the resistance war against the
French.
Exhibits, pictures and research works of outstanding scientists in the field of
medicine are also displayed at the exhibition. They include a scalpel and a
photo of student Pham Van Phuc, later Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Phuc who
performed the surgery in which the patient was soldier La Van Cau, a hero of
the People's Armed Forces during the 1950 Border Campaign.
Visitors can also learn about the research work of four persons who are
considered as "four pillars" of Vietnamese medicine in the resistance
war. They are Professor Ton That Tung (a street in Hanoi is named after him);
Prof. Dang Van Chung, Prof. Chu Van Tuong and Prof. Dinh Van Thang.
A draft of the book "small and large surgery on the liver” published by
Paris-based Masson Publishing House is displayed at a solemn site at the
park. The draft consists of 216 pages, handwritten and typed by Prof. Ton
That Tung in French. The book has been praised by the world’s surgeons.
Professor Tung's method of liver resection is also known as "Ton That Tung
method".
Not only displaying and introducing achievements in medicine, mathematics,
biology and geology, the park also creates a highlight with special objects of
the subsidy period. Models of old apartments with things of the period such as
bicycles, and coupons to buy goods and rice give visitors a better
understanding of the past of the country.
After spending a full day visiting and experiencing the heritage park, Nguyen
Minh Duc, a tourist from Hanoi said that given its geographical location and
archived research works, thepark is really a suitable place for relaxing
as well as for organising events, seminarsand organizing life skills
education classes for the young generation./.
As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
