The iMuseum VFA app allows users to view high-resolution images of the artworks, read detailed descriptions, find the locations of exhibiting artifacts within the museum, navigate through the display system presentations, and even mark which areas they have already explored.

The application is now available on both Android and iOS platforms. It features advanced QR code technology and iBeacon location services that enhance user interaction on mobile phones and tablets. By scanning a QR code, which is available at a price of 100,000 VND for a 12-hour access window, users can fully immerse themselves in the virtual exhibitions. The application is currently available in 10 languages: Vietnamese, English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Thai, with plans to add more languages soon.

iMuseum represents a progressive response to the evolving landscape of tourism and society in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. It plays a vital role in the digital transformation of Vietnam's cultural and tourism sectors, offering innovative experiences to both domestic and international visitors.

The Vietnam Fine Arts Museum stands as one of the foremost national museums dedicated to the preservation and promotion of cultural and artistic heritage in Vietnam. It currently houses over 25,000 artifacts, which provide a rich tapestry of the development of Vietnamese Fine Arts from prehistoric times to the contemporary era.
