At the ceremony, Mr. Le Trung Chinh, Chairman of the City People's Committee, said that the newly inaugurated Da Nang Museum is a meaningful and important cultural project in a series of projects and events to celebrate the 95th Anniversary of the Founding of the City Party Committee (March 28, 1930 - March 28, 2025) and the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of Da Nang City (March 29, 1975 - March 29, 2025), towards the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).

This is a decision of historical significance, marking a turning point in the journey of building, preserving and promoting cultural values ​​bearing the heritage mark of Da Nang in particular and Quang Nam in general; receiving the consensus and support of the city government and people as well as domestic cultural and historical researchers.

According to Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City Le Trung Chinh, when renovating and constructing the Museum from a particularly important historical building, the city's functional agencies conducted careful research to preserve it in the most complete way.
