“A Historical and Traditional Consideration towards a Contemporary Interpretation”

Drawing inspiration from the rustic charm of Long An and its rich history of single-story pitch roof houses made of clay tiles and bricks, often organized around courtyards, the museum’s design reflects the province’s arts and crafts in its structural built-up, paying great attention to every detail and materiality. The design vision captures the essence of the local tradition while infusing a contemporary feel to it.
