Hanoi ARB Architects, directed by Nguyen Ha, was commissioned by the artist Xuan Hinh to build a museum devoted to Dao Mau, the worship of mother goddesses which was established in Vietnam in the 16th century, and declared a UNESCO-listed religion in 2016.

The Project respects the existing exuberant landscape and preserves a small house of the artist. Surrounding this home are carefully executed new blocks that contain galleries for displaying artifacts having to do with Dao Mau.
