Photo source: thethaovietnam.vn The Red River Delta province of Hung Yen has started the construction of the Pho Hien (Hien Street) museum to introduce more than 10,000 objects and documents featuring the historical and cultural values of Pho Hien over the past time.
Covering more than 22,000 sq.m in Hung Yen City’s centre, the three-storey museum is being built at a cost of nearly VND120 billion (USD5.7 million).
The museum is expected to serve people from all walks of life who want to explore the cultural quintessence of the Red River as well as the values of the nation’s cultural heritages.
Pho Hien used to be a bustling commercial port on the Red River, second only to Thang Long in the 16th-17th century. It was well-known among foreigner traders, especially those from China, Japan and the Netherlands. Although it is no longer crowded and busy as in the old days, an old architectural complex of the town still remains, with nearly 60 historical and cultural relics.
The construction will be completed by 2015./.
