Muong Cultural Space Museum
Muong Phu Tho Cultural Space Museum is like a work of art located on a romantic hill. This place seems to recreate the living space and breathe life into Muong culture to help it not fade away. Today, join us to explore the unique features of the Muong cultural space museum. Muong Cultural Space Museum is located on a small hill in a limestone valley in Phu Tho. With an area of about 5 hectares, this place was once inhabited by the Muong people in ancient times and is also the first private museum in Vietnam. Muong Ethnic Cultural Space Museum is not like other museums. Here the artifacts are displayed naturally and simply in a cool green space with blooming flowers and lush green trees. Besides, by decorating the water wheel right at the entrance, the museum vividly recreates the living environment of the Muong ethnic people. Gongs and wooden statues are also delicately decorated to help highlight the culture and lifestyle of the ancient Muong people. Not only that, the 4 stilt houses made from bamboo and palm leaves are also a special feature that many people love when coming to the Muong Phu Tho Cultural Space Museum. Each house represents a class in Muong society. The most prominent architectural highlight is the system of four original stilt houses. These are buildings that were accurately restored according to traditional structures and represent each class of ancient Muong society: Lang House: The largest and tallest house, representing the ruling class. The house structure is spacious with many rooms, moss-tiled roof, large wooden columns, and double stairs. The inside is solemnly decorated with a worship area, precious gongs and symbols of power of the Lang people. Au House: The residence of servants or trusted people in the management system of the Lang people. The architecture still retains its durability but is simpler, without a main worship space. Rooftop House: Represents the common class. The structure is more modest, using naturally available materials such as bamboo and palm leaf roofs. Inside is the living place of multi-generational families. Rooftop House: A house of the lowest class, often the simplest, with bamboo walls, straw roof, small area, but still following a typical floor structure to avoid humidity. The arrangement of 4 types of houses in order from high to low (according to the valley topography) creates a coherent complex. This is a factor that clearly reflects the social stratification system of the Muong people, a characteristic feature of indigenous culture. All works in the museum use traditional materials such as ironwood, bamboo, straw, palm leaves, mountain stones... Each house is the result of the process of dismantling, transporting from the original Muong village here and being manually restored according to the old original. This is a process that takes many years of effort, demonstrating the dedication and effort of the investor and construction team. Every detail from purlins, columns, roofs, stairs, kitchen to door frames are kept in the original spirit. This helps the space not only resemble "in appearance" but also "true in soul", evoking a new and more enjoyable feeling for everyone. Not stopping at recreating houses, the museum also cleverly integrates contemporary art into the space layout. Among them, Muong Studio is a typical space that clearly demonstrates this element. This is a modern house built with natural materials located in the heart of the jungle. Muong Studio is also a place where contemporary art exhibitions and cultural exchange events regularly take place. The combination of traditional architecture and modern breath creates a lively, multi-layered whole. This helps each person coming here feel "like returning to the past and also like discovering the future". What makes the Muong Cultural Space Museum different lies in its treasure trove of more than 3,000 artifacts. These are artifacts collected by artist Vu Duc Hieu himself during more than 10 years of traveling around Muong villages in Son La, Thanh Hoa, Phu Tho... The artifacts here are displayed in the original living space, making each item seem to be "revived" in real life. The most outstanding artifacts can be mentioned as: Traditional musical instruments such as Muong gongs, flutes, bronze drums, Muong ethnic costumes from ao dai of noble women to simple working clothes of commoners, ancient agricultural tools such as hoes, stone axes, animal traps, machetes... In addition, visitors can also enjoy delicious dishes near the Muong cultural space museum such as: heritage hot pot, spring rolls with grapefruit leaves,... Muong Cultural Space Museum is a portal to the past. This is where you can see, touch and feel a breathing culture. If you are looking for a place in the Northwest highlands where you can "pack your backpack and go" and visit the museum!
