It had been a long time since Hue had a “reunion” of works by famous artists that attracted a large number of viewers. That exhibition is the result of an arduous 5-year collecting process since the establishment of Hue Museum of Fine Arts at the end of 2018.

Ms. Dinh Thi Hoai Trai, Director of the Hue Fine Arts Museum, announced on January 19th that the museum received nearly 60,000 visitors in 2023. Visitors were mainly attracted to Le Ba Dang and Diem Phung Thi art exhibitions. According to Ms. Trai, this figure represents a 40% increase compared to that of the year 2022.

Over 100 students from Huong Long primary school (Hue City) participated in a communication activity on gender equality in 2023, an activity held by Hue Fine Arts Museum on December 25 with various activities such as exhibition, propaganda on gender equality, and painting competition.

“Despite being newly-established, Hue Museum of Fine Arts, with its status and constant efforts over the years, has contributed to enriching and livening the ancient capital’s artistic life.”

Many precious fine art works by famous artists of Hue, collected by Hue Museum of Fine Arts over the past 5 years, are being introduced to the public for the first time.

One rainy day in Hue, I received an elaborate and impressive design for artist Dang Mau Tuu’s upcoming painting exhibition in Hanoi. It is surprising because he recently had an exhibition “Aotearoa - a region of white clouds” at Hue Museum of Fine Arts in June 2023, after he had just returned from New Zealand. Four months later, he continued with his own exhibition titled “Specks of dust in life” in Hanoi with 20 works painted on acrylic. This is Dang Mau Tuu’s first solo exhibition in Hanoi.

That the preservation warehouse and the display system are all reused from the renovated old building, so it is not suitable for the museum's function, and although the equipment has been invested, it still does not meet the requirements of preserving artifacts. Those are the situation that Hue Fine Arts Museum - a public museum established nearly 5 years ago, is facing. The concern for the safety of the artifacts and the desire to have a well-preserved warehouse are always the concerns of the unit's leaders.

The exhibition “Behind the Doors - Nocturne of Rain” by a group of both domestic and foreign artists has recently commenced and opened to the public on the evening of August 3rd at Diem Phung Thi art space (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 17 Le Loi Street, Hue City).

Over 150 sketch works capturing the beauty of A Luoi region through the perspectives of both professional and amateur artists were recently showcased and introduced to the public on the afternoon of July 10th at Diem Phung Thi Art Center (Hue Museum of Fine Arts, 17 Le Loi, Hue City).

"Family - A place of love and sharing" is the theme of a painting contest, which has just been held by Hue Museum of Fine Arts on the morning of June 27 at Diem Phung Thi Art Center (at 17 Le Loi Street, Hue City).
