Immersive exhibition brings Vietnamese heritage into digital space
VOV.VN - The immersive multisensory exhibition Giao Thời (Transitional Era) opened on June 24 at the Vietnam Women’s Museum in Hanoi, offering a new approach to Vietnamese heritage and culture through advanced projection and interactive technologies.
Co-organised by the Vietnam Women’s Museum, Vietart, Lumitech and LumiPark, the exhibition integrates 3D mapping and interactive sensor systems, allowing visitors to engage directly with visual, lighting and cultural content, rather than passively observing displays.
Inspired by the intersection of past, present and future, “Giao Thời” is structured into three thematic spaces, namely “Khởi Lưu – Primordial Flow”, “Cõi Thiêng – Cultural Flow”, and “Sắc Thời – Heritage Flow”, each combining immersive digital art with Vietnamese cultural motifs.
The exhibition has attracted strong interest from visitors with its interactive and visual experiences. Nguyen Minh Hanh, a visitor from Ho Chi Minh City, said the combination of imagery, lighting and technology makes cultural heritage more accessible, especially for young audiences.
Students also expressed excitement about interacting directly with cultural visuals. Nguyen Thi Anh Tuyet, a student from the Hanoi University of Culture, told VOV the exhibition helps audiences better understand Vietnam’s cultural origins through familiar symbols such as bronze drums and Dong Ho paintings.
Pham Quoc Dat, a primary school pupil visiting the exhibition, described the interactive experience as engaging, allowing images of butterflies and animals to respond to movement and touch.
According to organisers, the key feature of “Giao Thời” is the transformation of visitors from passive viewers into active participants, turning cultural exploration into an interactive storytelling journey powered by technology.
Nguyen Thi Tuyet, director of the Vietnam Women’s Museum, shared that the application of digital technology in exhibitions reflects Vietnam’s cultural digital transformation strategy and enhances public access to heritage, particularly among younger generations.
By combining art, technology and heritage, “Giao Thời” is expected to serve as a bridge between the public and Vietnamese culture in the context of rapid digital transformation, she said.
The exhibition runs until July 31 at the Vietnam Women’s Museum, 36 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hanoi.
