Here the group will be able to preserve valuable artefacts and objects important for the preservation of their heritage. The center will also serve as a gathering point for Co Tu festivals.
The concept for this museum actually came from Mr. Doi, the Chief of a Co Tu village, who expressed to Réhahn his fears about their tribal culture not being passed on to the next generation.
“When we pass away, who will tell the young people about our ancient traditions?” Mr. Doi asked.
Réhahn was able to fund the museum in full thanks to the sales of his fine art photography and books. As the culture changes it is important to find a way to preserve it despite the challenges.
