On April 21st, a delegation from Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a working session with Hue Monuments Conservation Center (HMCC) to discuss the National Target Program for Cultural Development.

By blending modern technology with long-standing cultural values, Hue’s heritage is embarking on a new, vibrant journey.

“Đế Đô Khảo cổ ký” (“Imperial Ancient Capital Archaeology Chronicles”) is a pioneering project combining heritage and technology, promising to open new horizons for cultural industries in Vietnam.

Applying digital technology in reenacting and exploring historical and cultural relics has brought various interesting and vibrant experiences to tourists, helping the heritage last with time.

On October 5th, the Vietnam Digital Media Association and VietTimes e-magazine held the Vietnam Digital Awards 2024 ceremony in Hanoi. Hue Monuments Conservation Center (HMCC) was honored in the category of Outstanding digital transformation by public service and business units with its solution “Applying digital technology to conserve and promote the values of Hue’s heritage.”

The artifacts selected for identification are representative items typical of the Nguyen Dynasty's royalty and officials, such as the golden throne, palanquins, ceremonial shoes (things used in daily life and rituals), gold and jade branches (interior decorations), and the Xam Huong set (a recreational activity). This initiative marks the beginning of applying technology to preserve and promote the cultural heritage values preserved in Thua Thien Hue.

The application of technology is an effective solution to bring heritage on exhibition at museums and monuments closer to the public.
