(Halong City now). In 1964, Hong Quang
Area was merged with Hai Ninh Province

During periods of war, all documents and
artifacts from the museum were evacuated
to various sites while the building of
5B Cau Cao was leveled in the dust by
bombing.
In 1990, People’s Committee of the
province decided to build Quang Ninh
Museum at 165 Nguyen Van Cu, Halong City
(former place of Quang Ninh Import and
Export Company).
Exhibitions include: the early Halong
culture; Ly and Tran Dynasties culture;
culture of Quang Ninh's ethnic groups;
times of wars; the history of the
region's coal industry; revolutionary
tradition of working class in mining
area; Uncle Ho with Quang Ninh and Quang
Ninh Province in renovation time. Over
the last 40 years, the museum has found
and preserved over 10,000 artifacts.
