MUSEUM OF CULTURES OF ETHNIC GROUPS –

QUY CHAU DISTRICT

Quy Chau Ethnic Culture Museum is located on an area of about 2,000m2, built in 1975 and completed in 1976. This is a place to display artifacts and historical documents of ethnic minorities in the Northwest of Nghe An province and documents on appearance and activities of 3 mountainous districts: Quy Chau, Que Phong, Quy Hop (belonging to the former Phu Quy).

The museum currently has 373 artifacts and historical documents from the anti-French and anti-American resistance wars, including 41 scientific artifacts, 10 objects of crockery, porcelain, glass, 43 artifacts of earth, stone and ore: 83 paper artifacts, 46 fabric artifacts, 57 woodwork artifacts; 71 metal artifacts; 6 artifacts made of bones, horns, tusks, skins; 16 other artifacts. The total number of maket photos in the museum is 865 photos; there are 23 episodes with more than 2,000 movies.

Artifacts classified by category include: archeology (40); resources (16); ethnography (88); anti-French and anti-American artifacts (229). This is also a place to store documents, artifacts, models of stilt houses, Thai writing, etc... helping officials, students, and students to study on local history and ethnology in the mountains of Nghe An. In addition, the museum also serves activities for political purposes and tasks in each period. With that importance, in the not too distant future, the museum will be upgraded, invested and built more to really be a museum of ethnic minorities in Nghe An mountains.

Currently, the museum welcomes hundreds of visitors to visit and study each year. Hopefully, in the future, after completing the infrastructure and supplementing and improving the quality of services, the museum will be a destination not to be missed by tourists when returning to the West of Nghe An.
