11.2.3. Public access to museums and exhibition spaces

As part of its vision to become a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) develops and shares cultural, artistic, heritage, and creative spaces with the wider community. Through the UEH E-History Digital Heritage Room, its online historical exhibition platform, and art, technology, and creative exhibitions held in 2025, UEH welcomes the public, alumni, school pupils, students, and partners to explore and experience cultural, historical, artistic, and educational resources. UEH provides free public access to its exhibition spaces from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, including Saturdays and Sundays.

These activities contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11), particularly indicator 11.2 on supporting arts and heritage, by expanding access to exhibition spaces and heritage resources in a university setting. UEH is committed to sharing cultural, educational, and innovation spaces with the community, with the E-History Digital Heritage Room serving as a prominent example.

According to UEH’s official announcement dated 4 October 2023, the Digital Heritage Room features touchscreens, hologram technology, and multimedia interactive systems, allowing members of the public to explore the University’s history and traditions. The space comprises three areas:

• Area A – UEH Traditions: Displays photographs, videos, and documents on UEH’s founding, educational and research achievements, and institutional development.
• Area B – Milestones in UEH’s Development: Presents notable artefacts and historical events through hologram technology.
• Area C – Celebrating UEH Values: Showcases visual materials, achievements, and significant events.

This approach is documented in UEH’s publicly available article “UEH Shares Open Cultural and Educational Spaces with the Community” (4 October 2023), under the section “UEH E-History Digital Heritage Room”.

Alongside in-person exhibitions, UEH develops online platforms to broaden access to historical information and creative works. Combining digital platforms with physical exhibition spaces provides additional channels for knowledge sharing, archival preservation, and the presentation of creative achievements.

• Website UEH E-History, officially launched on 29 October 2025, enables the public to explore photographs, videos, and historical documents across various sections. Complementing the physical heritage space at Campus A, it extends public access to UEH’s history regardless of geographic location.
