Exhibits and research products of 100 scientists are displayed at the museum. Each object carries its own message, reflecting a part of the scientist’s past as well as the historical context of each period.

At a stall showcasing exhibits of Vietnamese education before and after the August Revolution 1945, there are special objects about a generation of Vietnamese students during the French colonial period, such as a learning report of "Thanh Nam prodigy" Pham Dong Dien who later became Professor Pham Dong Dien, Rector of Hanoi University of Science and Technology-one of the figures assigned by the Ministry of National Defence to research weapons serving the resistance war against the French.

Exhibits, pictures and research works of outstanding scientists in the field of medicine are also displayed at the exhibition. They include a scalpel and a photo of student Pham Van Phuc, later Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Phuc who performed the surgery in which the patient was soldier La Van Cau, a hero of the People's Armed Forces during the 1950 Border Campaign.

Visitors can also learn about the research work of four persons who are considered as "four pillars" of Vietnamese medicine in the resistance war. They are Professor Ton That Tung (a street in Hanoi is named after him); Prof. Dang Van Chung, Prof. Chu Van Tuong and Prof. Dinh Van Thang.

A draft of the book "small and large surgery on the liver” published by Paris-based Masson Publishing House is displayed at a solemn site at the park. The draft consists of 216 pages, handwritten and typed by Prof. Ton That Tung in French. The book has been praised by the world’s surgeons. Professor Tung's method of liver resection is also known as "Ton That Tung method".

Not only displaying and introducing achievements in medicine, mathematics, biology and geology, the park also creates a highlight with special objects of the subsidy period. Models of old apartments with things of the period such as bicycles, and coupons to buy goods and rice give visitors a better understanding of the past of the country.

After spending a full day visiting and experiencing the heritage park, Nguyen Minh Duc, a tourist from Hanoi said that given its geographical location and archived research works, thepark is really a suitable place for relaxing as well as for organising events, seminarsand organizing life skills education classes for the young generation./.
