An art lover’s paradise
Vietnam’s Fine Arts have a close connection to the Vietnamese history and culture based on village traditions, rice cultivation, and communal values. Calqued in its history, Vietnam’s fine arts has had ups and downs following the intervals between peace and wars in the past. From the 11th century to early 15th, Vietnam lived in a golden era of Fine Arts and architecture such as the one Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi, remain to tell the story.
In both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, our suggestion is that you visit the Museum of Fine Arts and learn more deeply about Vietnamese history and painting techniques.
In Hanoi, Just across the street from the Temple of Literature you can find the Museum of Fine Arts displaying not only paintings, posters, ceramics and colored lacquerware created by modern post-war artists but also dating back as far as prehistoric and feudalism time. It is a very interesting visit to understand where does Vietnam come from and its way of thinking.
