Tour guide Le Thi Ngoc Anh said: The idea of the exhibition at the museum was designed by French experts and a group of associates who are knowledgeable about the customs and society of Ha Giang. Instead of displaying artifacts in large quantities, densely, chronologically, the Museum chooses typical artifacts, highlighting historical milestones, helping visitors have an overall view, combined with vivid colors, lights, and sounds. At the exhibition booths, the general message about the land and people of Ha Giang is explored through hierarchical topics and supplemented by technological devices along with logical, scientific symbols and impressive colors.

Thereby contributing to educating students about traditions and preserving historical values. Thanks to many improvements in display technology, combining tradition and modernity, the museum attracts more and more visitors of all ages to learn, visit and experience," said Ms. Ngoc Anh.
