Once considered “trendy” yet “hard to appreciate”, in recent years, the hobby of collecting artworks has become a familiar passion for many people, especially Hue people, who live in a land rich in culture and art.

With the theme “Thien Vu” (the dance of the Sky), the solo exhibition of the painter Doan Quynh Nhu seems to lead viewers into her own world, where the artist “whispers” with nature.

On the afternoon of August 1st, at Kien Trung Palace (Hue Imperial Citadel), Hue Monuments Conservation Center, in collaboration with the University of Arts - Hue University officially opened the thematic exhibition “Fine Arts & Heritage 4: The Four Sacred Creatures through Visual Arts”.

The contributions and legacy of Diem Phung Thi - a sculptor, have left a profound impact on the global sculpting scene. Hue is fortunate that she chose to return and spend the rest of her life here, ultimately donating her artistic legacy to the city. Since then, many artists have come to visit, drawing inspiration and creating their own works as if they engaged in a boundless “conversation”.

On June 11, Hue City Library held an exhibition displaying the works from the children’s drawing contest under the theme “Ao dai and Childhood”.

Nearly 100 students from primary schools, art centers, and gifted drawing classes across Hue City came together to take part in an art festival themed “Loving Family”. The event was organized by Hue Museum of Fine Arts on May 17th at Ho Chi Minh Memorial House (Duong No Ward, Thuan Hoa District).

On the afternoon of March 24th, at Kien Trung Palace – Hue Imperial Citadel, the exhibition showcasing the artworks of Emperor Ham Nghi themed “Troi, Non, Nuoc | Allusive Panorama” (Sky, Mountain, Water | Allusive Panorama) was officially launched by Art Republik Vietnam magazine, in collaboration with Hue Monuments Conservation Center and the French Institute in Vietnam.

Paintings about Uncle Ho always create deep emotions in viewers’ hearts. And, the artworks displayed at the beginning of the Year of the Snake at Ho Chi Minh Museum of Hue City, located at 7 Le Loi street, Thuan Hoa District, have left such impressions on those who came to appreciate them.

In 2024, Hue Museum of Fine Arts welcomed nearly 63,000 visitors to its two art exhibition spaces as well as various thematic exhibitions and cultural-artistic activities.

On October 11, representatives of the Hue Museum of Fine Arts’s leaders informed that after their meeting, the Art Collection Appraisal Council of the museum reached a consensus to suggest the Provincial People’s Committee to collect 4 artworks in 2024.
