via Vietnam Plus, 27 September 2021: The online exhibition from the HCM City Museum of Vietnamese History can be found here.
The HCM City Museum of Vietnamese History in July launched online exhibitions with 3D technology, smart apps and websites.
“We wanted to expand the museum’s activities and showcases to the public during the pandemic,” said the museum’s deputy director Nguyen Khac Xuan Thi in a recent interview with local media.
“With digital technology, viewers can see connections between objects and contexts, and visualise and learn about historical periods and culture through space and time.”
“We are working to build the museum’s 18 showcase rooms as interactive areas by using modern technology applications to convey the most effective content and information,” she said.
The museum’s highlighted online exhibitions include a showcase featuring collections of Victor Thomas Holbé, a French pharmacist who worked in South Vietnam in the 1920s.
The exhibition displays ancient artefacts, paintings and sculptures from China, Japan, India and Vietnam, mostly from the late 18th and 19th centuries, made with stones, gems, ivory and ceramics.
It also introduces antiques of the Oc Eo Culture, a rich culture of the ancient kingdom of Phu Nam which was discovered in 1944 via artefacts found at sites near Ba The Mountain, now Oc Eo town in Thoai Son district in southern An Giang province.
