    In 2018, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province decided to approve the investment policy to relocate and upgrade the historical museum to 268 Dien Bien Phu (Hue City) to form a suitable cultural institution associated with the relic sites of Nam Giao Altar and Phan Boi Chau Cemetery, while promoting the value of the treasures and artifacts stored at the Museum.

    In addition, this policy also aims to return space to the Quoc Tu Giam relic after more than 40 years of being "borrowed" by the Thua Thien Hue Provincial History Museum as its headquarters, in order to have a direction to preserve and promote the value of the relic.

    In the past, after unifying the country, King Gia Long chose Hue as the capital for the whole country, which was also the reason for the birth of the second Imperial Academy of the country. Initially, the Imperial Academy was located at Van Thanh Street (Huong Ho, Hue City), now Van Vo Mieu. Because the school was a bit far from the capital, in 1908, the royal court moved it to the left side of the Imperial City as it is today. Photo: Nguyen Phong.
