The Oklahoma History Center Museum, in partnership with the Vietnamese American Heritage Community of Oklahoma, is proud to announce Our Journeys, presented by Vietnamese Boat People, a multimedia traveling exhibition on display September 12, through January 4, 2027.

Created by New Jersey-based nonprofit Vietnamese Boat People, the exhibition centers the voices of Vietnamese Americans through oral histories, photographs, and interactive elements that explore migration, memory, and resilience across generations. The exhibit debuted in 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the displacement of millions of Vietnamese refugees whose stories continue to shape communities across the country—including here in Oklahoma.

OHCM staff have developed an Oklahoma-specific component to the exhibition, threading a local narrative into this global story through interpretive panels and artifact cases drawn from Oklahoma City’s Vietnamese American community.

Our Journeys is made possible with support from the Henry Luce Foundation, New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the Asian Women Giving Circle, and its Wall of Hope donors. Local support provided by the Asian District Cultural Association (utilizing Oklahoma County ARPA funds), Inasmuch Foundation, The Greater Oklahoma City Asian Chamber of Commerce, Quill Hawk Publishing Company, and the Agnes Nguyen family.

The exhibition is included with regular museum admission.
