Spreading cultural values ​​through digital museums.

In line with the current strong trend of digital transformation, Ca Mau province is building a digital museum – a model that combines modern technology with the preservation and promotion of local cultural values. With this approach, the Ca Mau Provincial Museum (Bac Lieu ward) opens up a vibrant experiential space, bringing heritage closer to the public both domestically and internationally.

Images of patriots are displayed prominently, and tour guides provide explanations about each historical event.

Through 3D technology, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR), exhibits are no longer static in glass cases but become vibrant and immersive, allowing viewers to interact and explore multiple layers of information with just a few taps on their digital devices.

Unlike traditional museums, which are limited by space and time, the Bac Lieu Digital Museum allows residents, tourists, students, and young people to access information anytime, anywhere. With just a smartphone or computer connected to the internet, viewers can "stroll" through virtual exhibition rooms, learning about the history of the Ca Mau region; traditional craft villages ; folk festivals; typical cultural architecture; or the lives and careers of historical figures and cultural icons associated with the locality. This approach is also suitable for young people, contributing to fostering pride and awareness of preserving the cultural identity of their homeland in the digital age.

Youth union members and young people can access information directly at the museum.

Huynh Thanh Phong, a student at Bac Lieu University, shared: “Just by touching the digital museum, I can access a lot of information about the Bac Lieu and Ca Mau areas. Besides that, the digital museum also stores many artifacts, providing me with a lot of information about the history and the formation of the land, people, and culture of my homeland.”

Mr. Tran Thang Loi, Secretary of the Youth Union of Hamlet 22, Bac Lieu Ward, said: "I felt delighted visiting the digital museum, accessing a lot of information about the people and national identity, and the history of my homeland."

The digital museum not only serves archiving and research purposes but also acts as an effective tool for promoting tourism in Ca Mau . Tourists can learn about destinations, heritage sites, and festivals in advance through the digital platform, thereby increasing the attractiveness and authentic experience when visiting the area. In the field of education, the digital museum becomes an "open classroom," supporting the innovation of teaching and learning methods for local history and culture, making lessons more visual and engaging, in line with the trend of digital transformation in education.

Electronic screens at the museum allow visitors to quickly and easily access information and images integrated into the museum's exhibits.

The construction of the digital museum reflects Ca Mau's long-term vision in preserving and promoting local cultural values. When heritage is vividly and authentically recreated in a digital environment, it will create widespread impact, ensuring that cultural values ​​are not only preserved but also continuously innovated and connected to contemporary life. Therefore, the digital museum is not simply a technological product, but a bridge between the past, present, and future, contributing to the further development of local culture and affirming the identity of this traditionally rich land in the digital age.
