DNO - Located at the foot of Thuy Son Mountain, at the intersection of Huyen Tran Cong Chua and Truong Sa streets, the Non Nuoc - Ngu Hanh Son Stone Carving Memory Museum greets visitors with a rustic, nostalgic charm.
Covering an area of over 700m², the museum displays hundreds of artifacts from rudimentary hammers and chisels to sophisticated sculptures, along with valuable images and documents. Together, they clearly depict the economic and cultural life of local people, while vividly recreating the more than 400-year journey of a traditional craft village.
The museum is divided into three exhibition spaces, each reflecting a stage of development. In particular, the first exhibition space takes visitors back to the origins of the craft village, when the residents of Quan Khai Village at that time began to turn rough stone blocks into daily utensils, laying the first bricks for the stone carving.
The second space highlights the golden era, honouring famous artisans such as Nguyen Sang, Le Ben, Nguyen Long Buu, Nguyet Viet Minh and Nguyen Hung who have left behind posterity sharp, soulful works.
Visitors to the third space have the opportunity to return to the original nature of stone with unpolished, silent blocks, revealing many mysteries about the material that has nurtured generations of Non Nuoc craftsmen.
Each artifact displayed in the museum represents the crystallization of the mind, the hands of the artisan and the gift of nature. They create a distinctive imprint of Marble Mountains with artistic values.
Behind the museum is Mr. Le Van Hoa, a native of Ngu Hanh Son. Not only the founder, he has also spent years collecting artifacts, sometimes a century-old antique, sometimes just a worn-out chisel, with the desire to preserve the quintessence of the craft village and pass it on to the future generations.
For him, every artifact is more than a record of labor, it is the soul of the craft and the embodiment of national cultural identity.
For those visiting Da Nang, the Non Nuoc - Ngu Hanh Son Stone Sculpture Memory Museum is a place not to be missed. Here, visitors will not only see stones but also hear the whispers of history and feel the breath of a craft village that has existed for more than four centuries.
