You'll find a profound emphasis on the vibrant cultures of the local ethnic communities, particularly the S'tieng and Khmer, with their intricate brocade textiles taking center stage. The space also doesn't shy away from the area's pivotal role in modern history, creating a poignant dialogue between ancient tradition and recent struggle.
