via Phnom Penh Post, 19 March 2021: How museums in Ho Chi Minh City (particularly the Museum of History) are using digital technology to improve user experience.
Museums in HCM City are using smart technology to offer online displays as part of their effort to develop business amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The HCM City Museum of Vietnamese History has launched an online exhibition with 3D technology, smart apps and websites with the aim of expanding the museum’s activities and showcases to the public.
“With digital technology, viewers can see connections between objects and contexts, and visualise and learn about historical periods and culture through space and time,” said Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, the museum’s director.
“We are working to build the museum as an interactive museum by using modern technology applications to convey the most effective content and information.”
Last week, the museum opened an online exhibition of ancient artefacts, paintings and scluptures from the collection of Victor Thomas Holbe, a French pharmacist who worked in South Vietnam in the 1920s.
