DONG DINH MUSEUM

Dong Dinh Museum is located on a steep terrain upstream of Hoang Sa Street, Son Tra Peninsula of Da Nang. The garden of memory has recreated ancient features. A unique cultural address. Harmoniously combine the conservation of forest ecological space with cultural and artistic space. Here visitors can come to relax, rest and admire the world of forests, trees and grass. Being cared for by the project owner is quite harmonious between architectural function and ecological function.

Garden house model

The museum follows a model of the midland garden house of Quang. With fruit trees and green grass. Around the garden are arranged small paths made of paving stones. Give visitors a relaxing feeling like returning to their own childhood garden. The project owner tried to create and name it “Dong Dinh Museum – a garden of memory”. That memory is recovered by the image of the tree itself. A coconut tree that often grows abundantly in Thien Son Tra reserve. Perhaps the owner of this place took the name of his museum. A rocky forest garden for a group of friends or family after visiting the museum. Create a relaxing space to sit and rest to listen to the wind of leaves and the song of forest birds. There are four aquariums scattered throughout the garden that give the garden a cool aqua paint effect.

b. Modern architectural house

A modern architectural house uses forest ecological space to build on a gentle hill. This unique architecture has been appreciated by ecologists, domestic and foreign architects who have the opportunity to visit. This is a building used to display works of fine art. In front of us is a collection of paintings by artists Dinh Y Nhi and Dang Viet Trieu. This house is also a rotating display of fine art works by other authors. In addition, the auxiliary structures including the manager’s house and the project owner’s workhouse also display a rather unique ethnographic collection of ethnic minorities in the Central – Central Highlands. These artifacts are worthy of attention because in addition to discovery, they also harmoniously enhance the forest space around Son Tra nature reserve.
