Voyage to Vietnan is a
new Portland Children’s
Museum exhibition to
promote understanding
of Vietnam culture and
showcase the traditions,
customs and values
exemplified by the annual
celebration of Tet.
Voyage to Vietnam
The Portland Children’s Muse-
um has opened a new exhibit giv-
ing children and their caregivers a
delightful opportunity to discover
the beauty, sights and sounds of
Vietnam.
Voyage to Vietnam: Celebrat-
ing the Tet Festival showcases tra-
ditions, customs and values exem-
plified by the annual celebration of
Tet. Through interactive exhibits,
families will immerse themselves
in Vietnamese culture, gain appre-
ciation for traditions, values, and
daily experiences of people who
live in Vietnam, and discover sim-
ilarities and differences between
their lives in the U.S. and the lives
of children in Vietnam.
“This exhibit advances our
museum’s commitment to inclu-
sion and global understanding
as we learn about the similarities
and differences of family cele-
brations,” said Ruth Shelly, the
Portland Children’s Museum’s ex-
ecutive director. “My hope is that
seeing Vietnam through the eyes
of children will make us all more
empathetic and appreciative of the
rich cultural diversity within our
own community.”
Voyage to Vietnam runs
through May 6.
