From the organizer:

We are so excited to share with you the official information about the upcoming exhibition – “Saigon, Evolution and Old maps”.

“Saigon co ben Chuong Duong
Co dinh Doc Lap co duong Tu Do”

Have you ever been curious that how your place, your schools, the streets that you are driving on looked like in the past?

Over the centuries, Saigon has changed. Despite the changes, the city’s spirit and heritage remained the same, quietly and beautifully.

We won’t be surprised to hear your surprises, as:
– “This used to be my house.”
– “This corner looks familiar.”
– …

Saigon has changed, expended and moved around. You would be able to see the districts, the streets, the towns that your grand grand parents used to live. Looking at the old Saigon, you would feel amazed how this city has survived and grown everyday. Then, the bigger it grows, the deeper our love is.

In addition, aside from the vintage, we would like to give you an unique experience with advanced technology. Have you ever listened to Saigon itself, to tell you its own stories? Our new technology would be able to give you that.

It is never enough to talk about Saigon. We hope that our maps would bring you some new lens to look at this city from different perspectives and different angles.

Not only maps, the exhibition aims to bring a true old Saigon via our vintage collections. In addition, you will have a chance to interact with our new technology of interactive exhibition.

Most importantly, you will be one of the first people to attend the premier night of “Quy Ong Saigon” series – episode 3.
