Pham Manh Hung, VOV’s Vice President, said: “At VOV’s exhibition space, we introduce the station’s 80-year history, from its founding on September 7, 1945, through two resistance wars, to the renewal and renewal period, and now the era of global outreach. Over 8 decades, VOV has accompanied the nation’s history. From being a radio broadcaster, VOV has become a national multimedia agency with all forms of journalism, strongly developing digital content to serve the public and meet the country’s development and integration in the new era.”
VOV’s exhibition space is divided into four interactive zones from the initial sole radio broadcasting to the multimedia and digital transformation era. The VR experience “Returning to the sacred moment” brings the public back to September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, to listen to President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence.
