via Vietnam Plus, 18 May 2021: Vietnam’s National Museum of History will launch a virtual gallery next month to bring some of its holdings online.
Twenty national treasures at the Vietnam National Museum of History in Hanoi will be introduced to the public via a virtual gallery in June at the latest with support of digital technology.
This is the museum’s very first effort to develop itself into a digital museum in the coming time.
It takes a long time to prepare for an online museum due to a large number of exhibits, said director of the museum Nguyen Van Doan, adding that information about the objects must be studied carefully as well.
“We have to spend one year on digitalising the information about the 20 national treasures”, he said.
The museum’s 3D virtual exhibitions have been popular with visitors since 2013, featuring Oc Eo Culture, Dong Son Culture, Buddhist heritages, and Vietnamese ancient lamps, among others.
