The Museum of Ethnic Cultures of the Northwest Region in Quy Chau, now the Museum of Ethnic Cultures of the Western Nghe An Region, was built in 1975, completed in 1976 and put into operation on September 2, 1979, and edited for exhibition in 2010. The architecture is a stilt house with an area of 250m2.2The museum is displaying about 400 documents, artifacts, and historical materials of ethnic minorities in the Northwest region of Nghe An (Thai, Tho, Kho Mu, O Du and Mong) and documents about the birth and activities of 3 mountainous districts: Quy Chau, Que Phong, Quy Hop,...
After 45 years of operation, affected by harsh natural conditions, the museum has seriously degraded both in terms of facilities and exhibition content. The roof is damaged and leaky, the floors, columns, and stairs are infested with termites, making it unsafe for visitors. The interior display system is outdated, documents and artifacts are degraded due to lack of suitable preservation equipment,...
Therefore, investing in upgrading the Museum of Culture of Ethnic Groups in Western Nghe An in Quy Chau district is necessary to serve the research, collection, preservation, display, introduction and promotion of fine traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities in Nghe An associated with tourism development in the Western Nghe An region.
