The Quang Trung Museum covers nearly 18 hectares and is located next to the north bank of the Con River, in Kien My village, Phu Phong town, Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province, 45km from Quy Nhon city. This is also the hometown of the "Tay Son trio" Nguyen Nhac, Nguyen Lu and Nguyen Hue, still preserving original elements such as the old house garden, the old well, the tamarind tree over 200 years old...
All are in harmony in the overall cultural space of the Tay Son Tam Kiet Temple Relic, Emperor Quang Trung Monument, Artifact Exhibition House, Tay Son Martial Music Performance House, and Cultural Communal House of the Central Highlands Ethnic Groups.
Quang Trung Museum was built and inaugurated on December 24, 1977, to commemorate and honor the great contributions of Emperor Quang Trung in the cause of national liberation.
Nguyen Hue, with his outstanding military talent and brilliant strategic thinking, became one of the most outstanding generals in Vietnamese history. His resounding victory in the Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da battle in the year of Ky Dau (1789) defeated 290,000 Qing troops, firmly protecting Dai Viet's independence from the threat of invasion.
The museum is designed in traditional Vietnamese architecture with curved tiled roofs and sturdy wooden pillars, both ancient and sacred, in harmony with the cool and quiet green space.
Inside the museum, artifacts are displayed scientifically, according to each theme and historical period, helping visitors easily understand more clearly the achievements and careers of the Tay Son dynasty.
The exhibition system follows the historical process of the Tay Son movement in the 18th century with the following topics : the historical and social context of Vietnam before the Tay Son uprising; the origin of the homeland and family; the preparation period for the uprising; fighting against the feudal forces of Le, Trinh, Nguyen to unify the country; fighting against foreign invaders to protect national independence, focusing on the victory over the Siamese army and the great defeat of the Qing army; the country building work of the Tay Son dynasty; King Quang Trung in the hearts of the nation.
The main exhibition area includes many valuable artifacts such as swords, armor, Quang Trung's command flags, maps, military strategies and documents related to his major battles.
In addition, the museum also has an area displaying artifacts about the daily life and culture of the people during the Tay Son period, helping to vividly recreate the life and spirit of the people during this historical period.
When visiting the museum, visitors can burn incense to commemorate the heroes of the Tay Son dynasty at the special national relic site of the Tay Son Tam Kiet Temple, located right in the old garden of the Tay Son brothers, along with the Tay Son Tam Kiet Parents Temple, with the old well and ancient tamarind tree still remaining.
There is also a temple here to worship famous generals Admiral Bui Thi Xuan, Grand Tutor Vo Van Dung...
This temple is also the place to hold festivals, rituals to commemorate and honor the heroes who have devoted themselves to the country. Every year on the occasion of Lunar New Year, this temple becomes the place to hold Dong Da festival - a traditional festival that attracts thousands of visitors from all over to attend, to commemorate the historic victory and honor the national spirit.
Coming to the museum, enjoying the traditional martial music performance of Tay Son - Binh Dinh is something that visitors cannot miss. This is a unique cultural feature, an intangible cultural heritage of the Tay Son period that is being passed down and promoted.
This is the Tay Son drum ritual music, born from the Tay Son movement, carrying the heroic spirit of the nation. The drum set uses 12 drums symbolizing the twelve zodiac animals with a rhythm divided into three parts: marching, attacking the city and celebrating the victory. Accompanying the drum music is a very pleasing performance of Tay Son traditional martial arts.
Quang Trung Museum is not only a historical attraction but also an important cultural education center. The museum regularly organizes historical education programs, helping the younger generation better understand the nation's glorious past, thereby arousing patriotism and national pride.
Every year, Quang Trung Museum welcomes and serves more than 150,000 domestic and international visitors to visit, research and study. In particular, the Dong Da Festival welcomes up to 30,000 visitors each year.
