In the context of strong digital transformation, museums in general and the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in particular are facing the need for comprehensive innovation to adapt to the publics increasingly diverse cultural enjoyment needs. Talking to the Government Electronic Newspaper, Director of the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Nguyen Anh Minh shared about the orientation, challenges as well as ways to promote and preserve the value of fine arts heritage in the digital age. Open cultural space in the digital era Director of the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Nguyen Anh Minh said, entering the digital era, museums no longer only perform the function of collecting, preserving and displaying artifacts in the traditional way, but must transform become modern cultural institutions, taking the public as the center and creating increasingly rich and attractive cultural experiences. For the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts, innovation is not only a requirement for development but also a responsibility in implementing the Party and States policies on digital transformation, cultural development and promotion of heritage values in the new context. We define digital transformation as not simply the application of technology but a comprehensive innovation of operating methods, from technology to technology. management, conservation, research, display, education and public service. Over the past time, the Museum has gradually implemented many solutions such as building an online fine arts exhibition space (VAES), 3D tours, iMuseum VFA multimedia interpretation application in 9 languages, electronic ticketing system and digital database of artifacts. These applications have contributed to expanding access to Vietnamese fine arts heritage, helping the domestic and public International students can explore artistic values in more convenient and vivid forms. However, the most important thing is to innovate thinking. We hope to build the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum into an open cultural space, where the public not only comes to visit but also to learn, create, experience and dialogue with art. Nam reaches the masses and contributes to building an advanced Vietnamese culture rich in national identity, Dr. Nguyen Anh Minh emphasized. Download Dr. Nguyen Anh Minh, technology is not the goal, nor can it replace the value of the original artifact. All technology applications must aim to effectively serve the conservation, research, education and promotion of heritage values. Digital transformation in fine arts museums poses many challenges. In recent years, the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts has actively deployed digital transformation and achieved many initial results with products such as the iMuseum VFA multimedia interpretation application, the online fine arts exhibition space (VAES), 3D tours and digital database system. However, according to Mr. Nguyen Anh Minh, digital transformation in the museum field, especially fine arts museums, is a long-term process and also poses many challenges. The first difficulty comes from the very characteristics of fine art artifacts. Each work has unique values in terms of materials, colors, penmanship and expression techniques. Digitization is not simply taking photos or scanning data, but must faithfully reproduce the aesthetic value of the work, requiring modern technological equipment and very strict technical processes. For materials such as lacquer, silk or National Treasures, this requirement is even higher. In addition, digitizing more than 20,000 artifacts and a large amount of scientific documents requires significant investment resources in technological infrastructure, storage systems, data security and long-term operating costs. This is a problem not only unique to the Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts but also a common challenge for many museums today. Another important issue is ensuring data security and intellectual property rights. When uploading works to the digital environment, we must simultaneously protect copyright, prevent the risk of illegal copying and ensure security for the heritage data system. In addition, digital transformation requires staff to not only have in-depth knowledge of fine arts and museology but also to master digital technology, data management and digital content creation. Therefore, training high-quality human resources is an urgent requirement. Although there are still many difficulties, Mr. Nguyen Anh Minh identifies digital transformation as an inevitable trend. The museum will continue to take advantagethe attention of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, promoting cooperation with technology businesses and domestic and foreign partners to gradually improve digital infrastructure, build a synchronous database and effectively promote the value of Vietnams fine arts heritage in the digital age. Technology serves heritage, does not replace heritage According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Minh, the most important thing is to correctly determine the role of technology in museums. Technology is not the goal, nor can it replace the value of the original artifact. Artifacts are always the center, while technology is a means to help the public access heritage more conveniently, understand more deeply and have richer experiences. All technology applications must aim to serve the effective conservation, research, education and promotion of heritage values. In the context of rapidly developing science and technology and the increasingly divers
