MUONG ETHNIC GROUP CULTURAL SPACE MUSEUM IN HOA BINH
The first thing visitors see is water spilling over rock formation into a stream flanked by
rice mortars, a reflection of the unique cultural identity of the Muong people. The
reenactment section and a
centuries-old Muong culture is captured in two sections:
display section. The reenactment section contains 4 Muong stilt houses that illustrate
the social stratification of feudal society. The Muong houses are differentiated by
socialstatus - the "Lang" house for the most powerful families, the "Âu" house for the
mandarins, the 'Tao" house for ordinary people, and the "Nõ" house for the lowest
class, such as widows and orphans. Further on are display rooms which showcase
traditional Muong handicrafts such as knitted woven and embroidered fabrics, tools for
hunting and farming, and items used in festivals, traditional observances, and religious
practice. Visitor Ngo Thu Nga from Hanoi told VOV: "I am grateful for the initiative, love
of Muong culture, and effort that created these displays and this museum."
