The Vietnamese Garden presents a distinctive Vietnamese cultural space to the Polish and international public, contributing to the promotion of Vietnam’s image within an international museum setting. It is a harmonious blend of culture, art, and landscape architecture, helping to build the image of a humanistic, friendly, and culturally rich Vietnam, while enhancing the country’s presence on the cultural map of Poland and Europe.
Speaking at the ceremony, MOCST’s Deputy Minister Ho An Phong stated:
“We highly value the significance of establishing this garden, not merely as a landscape project, but as a vivid symbol of the identity, cultural depth, and spirit of the Vietnamese people. The bamboo groves, garden hedges, narrow paths, and traditional materials evoke memories of our homeland, and they also share with the world meaningful stories about the people and the land of Vietnam.”
