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./.
