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.

The exhibition is included with regular museum admission.

Explore a monumental outdoor installation by Oklahoma City–based artists Denise Duong and Gabriel Friedman that transforms Campbell Art Park into a site of story, symbolism, and discovery.

Learn to make papier-mâché masks the Dennis McNett way. For a small materials fee, participants can build their own tribal animal mask — or whatever they like — to wear in the Here One Day, Gone the Next procession during the October Art Walk. Resonator and McNett provide all materials and tools. Participants shape a cardboard frame into the animal of their choice, then adorn their creations with McNett’s hand-printed patterns. The results are spectacular.
