'Điệp trùng' is an interactive exhibition. What this event aims to do is to engage the audience back to an important part of Saigon: River System.
Alongside that, the Museum would have a closer insight into the everyday lives of the youths, meaning the opportunities to draw them into coming to the museum in the future.
There is so much about the rivers that can be explored, in terms of visuals, sounds, emotions or spiritualities. Therefore, the project is the beginning of a new type of exhibition/event that can renew the image of the Museum towards people.

ABOUT THE COLLABORATION
“In what ways can this museum develop new forms of cooperation and exchange with the different communities that, together today, form the evolving face of Ho Chi Minh City?”
The work exhibited at the museum responds, creatively and speculatively, to that question. 26 students at RMIT University developed their answers in the fall and winter of 2020, during a three-month “Capstone Studio”, part of the final year of the Design Studies program.
A TRUSTED COLLABORATION
The current show is the continuation of a collaboration that began in 2019 with a student proposal for the modernization of an important museum exhibition space. The museum offers our students exceptional and meaningful design opportunities. Our collaboration is an important part of the continuing commitment, in Design Studies, to engage in rich conversations about design in Vietnam with leading local, regional and national partners.
