Comedian Xuan Hinh recently hosted Nguyen Phuong Anh at his private museum in Hanoi. The Vingroup chairman's daughter-in-law explored the expansive 5,000-square-meter complex, which features lush gardens and sacred shrines. This visit highlights the growing interest in traditional Vietnamese aesthetics among the country's elite, drawing attention to a site that masterfully blends historical preservation with modern artistic vision.
Built using over six million ancient bricks and tiles collected from 500 households across Vietnam, the museum is an architectural masterpiece. In 2023, Italy’s prestigious Domus magazine named it one of the world's top 14 projects. The site is nestled within a 50-year-old orchard, where construction was carefully managed to preserve every tree, creating a seamless harmony between nature and man-made structures.
The museum is dedicated to "Dao Mau," the traditional Vietnamese worship of Mother Goddesses. This folk religion is a cornerstone of Vietnamese identity and was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016. Visitors can learn about "len dong" trance rituals and traditional music, making it a profound spiritual destination for those seeking to understand Vietnam’s rich cultural tapestry.
