Housed in a gorgeous French Colonial building formerly used by the French Ministry of Information, the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum is a real treasure trove of traditional, religious, modern and contemporary Vietnamese art. The museum can sometimes be completely empty, a remarkable detail considering the quality of the work on display.


Chronologically organized, the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum offers an easy lesson in the history of Vietnamese art and features ancient Champa carvings, 20th-century folk paintings, and 21st-century abstract works. The museum is so large and densely packed with artworks that you might want to make more than one visit to take it all in and be sure to take a moment to view the sublime effigies of Guan Yin, the 1,000-armed and 1,000-eyed goddess of compassion.

The Thang Long Art Gallery was established in 1996 as a way to promote talented Vietnamese artists and based on the idea is that art should be accessible to everyone in order to make the world better. One of the most unique things about the Thang Long Art Gallery is that it is family run, founded by Nguyen Dinh Quang, and gives younger artists wonderful opportunities to display their art. The gallery works with these artists and has established a relationship with them over the years to promote them and put their artwork on display.
