| The exhibition space for painting artworks |
This new space is located next to the old one, and it serves as a “continuation” of, the existing Cecile Le Pham Fine Arts Museum at No.53 Ham Nghi Street.
Covering an area of over 150 square meters, Cecile Le Pham Fine Arts Museum uses this space to showcase collections of paintings by renowned artists; precious metal jewelry of several Vietnamese ethnic minorities; Indochinese banknotes, Japanese and Korean currency; and European-style porcelain dolls by female painter To Bich Hai. Additionally, the second floor features images commemorating Emperor Ham Nghi (1871–1944), the 8th Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty.
According to a representative of Cecile Le Pham Fine Arts Museum, each artifact and collection stored and displayed in the museum’s new exhibition space is tied to a story about the collector’s journey to acquire it and bring it back for preservation and display.

With this launch, it is hoped to offer the public and researchers a unique cultural space, an appealing and interesting destination for both domestic and international visitors wishing to experience and explore history, culture, and the process of East–West cultural exchange. Hence, it contributes to preserving, utilizing, and promoting the value of Hue’s treasure of antiquities in particular, while creating a new and attractive cultural destination for the Ancient Capital.
Cecile Le Pham Fine Arts Museum was established in 2023 at No. 53 Ham Nghi Street and is the fifth non-public museum in Hue City. At the space 53 Ham Nghi, the focus is mainly on displaying the art of phap lam (vitreous enamel) and collections of decorative items from Vietnam, Japan, and France, as well as the theme “East Asian Buddhist Art - Multidimensional Approaches.”
