This book focuses on digital museums in the context of Vietnam and contributes to global discussions on the development of digital museum offerings needed to meet audience demands, requirements for sustainable digitization methods for cultural heritage, demands for the development of intellectual property protection for the digital environment, and ways that national governments can support digital museums.

Duester provides insight into museums in part of the Global South, where infrastructure funding, technical, and human resource constraints impact the take up and display of digital content. With on-the-ground research from three Vietnamese museums, Duester argues for a museum framework that is sustainable, ethical, and culturally-appropriate. The Vietnamese government's strategy for digitalization of culture, heritage, and museums is assessed, and the book includes a list of recommendations on sustainable digitization methods, intellectual property protection measures for the digital environment, management, phygital business models, and new digital revenue streams.

The volume will benefit scholars involved in the cultural and creative industries, as well as museum professionals and cultural policymakers who will value the book's assessment of international standards, treaties, and conventions on copyright law and how they apply to museums, as well as the recommendations listed above.
