This was the theme of an international seminar held by Hue Monuments Conservation Center in collaboration with the Korean Institute of Architecture and Urban Research on August 22nd.

In addition to their primary function of displaying artifacts, many museums and cultural-artistic spaces also fulfill another important role: organizing events for exchange, conversation, and discussion on related issues. These spaces have become destinations that creates connections between researchers, cultural experts, and enthusiasts.

The Central Coast Museum of Nature (henceforth the Museum) was established in 2009, and its specimen display space was officially open to the public in 2020. Though still being in its “infancy”, the Museum’s exhibition space has attracted many scientists, researchers, and young people who are passionate about learning and experiencing nature conservation and biodiversity.

Hue Museum of Fine Arts is both a space to display exhibitions that attract the public and, over the years, it has become a popular choice among students as an experiential school destination. Not only do they learn more about art, such as painting, installation, etc., but they also get to role-play and create works in their way.

“Despite being newly-established, Hue Museum of Fine Arts, with its status and constant efforts over the years, has contributed to enriching and livening the ancient capital’s artistic life.”

With numerous precious artifacts, the Museum space of Ethnology - Archeology (belonging to the Faculty of History, University of Sciences, Hue University) is not only a place for students to carry out research and study but also an ideal destination attracting interests of cultural and research circles in Hue.

The exhibition “Behind the Doors - Nocturne of Rain” by a group of both domestic and foreign artists has recently commenced and opened to the public on the evening of August 3rd at Diem Phung Thi art space (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 17 Le Loi Street, Hue City).

On the occasion of the first anniversary of operation, Nguyen Chi Thanh Museum (144 Dang Thai Than street, Hue City) opened an additional space associated with the heroic General of Hue: the General’s working shack.

The 2nd Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day will be opened on the afternoon of April 21, instead of April 16 as previously planned, and the location is still at the space of Quoc Tu Giam (the Provincial History Museum), inside the area of Hue Citadel.

The joy of Tet (New Year) for museum workers is to welcome many visitors and guide visitors to the exhibition spaces.
