An inauguration ceremony for the Phu Yen Museum was held in the province's Tuy Hoa city on February 3.
Construction of the museum began in July 2010 at a cost of VND 96.9 billion (around US$ 4.6 million). The three –storey building covers nearly 4,000 square metres on Tran Phu street, ward 5, Tuy Hoa city.
The museum’s first and second floors are dedicated to exhibition space while the third floor will be used for cultural activities. The indoor displays are arranged according to three major themes: the history of Phu Yen province; the story of its struggle against foreign invaders; and local life in the province today.
In addition to the indoor exhibition spaces, the museum also has outdoor space for military artifacts such as aircraft, tanks and cannons.
The museum’s inauguration was significant as it coincided with the 82nd anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) on February 3, and demonstrates the Party’s care for preserving and protecting the province’s historical and cultural heritage, affirmed Party Central Committee member, Secretary of Phu Yen provincial Party Committee Dao Tan Loc at the ceremony.
He also called on the museum’s management board to diversify the exhibitions and make it an attractive place for visitors.
Earlier the same day, the Phu Yen provincial Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee and Fatherland Front Committee held a ceremony to mark the 82nd anniversary of the CPV.
Addressing the event, Secretary Dao Tan Loc reviewed the history of Party Committee and people of Phu Yen in the national struggles for liberation as well as the significant achievements recorded by the locality’s army and people under the Party’s leadership.
Phu Yen is a land rich with cultural traditions and home to much tangible and intangible ethnic cultural heritage such as ramparts, temples and valuable relics from the ancient culture of Champa.
