Within the framework of the Living with Rivers project, initiated by the Embassy of France in Vietnam and the French Institute in Vietnam, the exhibition “We, the Rivers of Southern Vietnam” offers diverse perspectives on the relationship between people and rivers in Vietnam.

Adapted from the exhibition “We, the Rivers” organized by the Musée des Confluences (Lyon, France) in 2022, the exhibition highlights the distinctive characteristics of Southern Vietnam’s rivers, from the intricate waterways of the Mekong Delta to ongoing urban transformations.

Nearly 80 artifacts, paintings, photographs, and archival materials have been selected through the collaboration of four museums in Ho Chi Minh City (including the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History, Ho Chi Minh City Museum, Southern Women's Museum, and Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts), collectively telling the story of rivers through a range of themes, from their origins to their future.

By combining scientific knowledge with an emotionally engaging approach, the exhibition aims to inspire new reflections on the relationship between people and rivers, while opening discussions on more sustainable ways of living together in the future.

We sincerely thank all partners for their valuable support and important contributions to the success of this exhibition and project.

We warmly invite the public to visit and explore.
