As heritage cities around the world search for sustainable development models, the concept of a “living museum city” is emerging as a direction many localities aspire to. With its distinctive cultural heritage and unique identity, Hue has every potential to become a typical example of this model.

For centuries, the land of Hue has been renowned for the skillful hands of its artisans. This region is a place not only preserves the cultural heritage of the imperial court, but also serves as the cradle that maintains and develops hundreds of unique traditional craft villages. However, in the face of global integration trends, Hue’s craft villages are confronting numerous challenges.

That was the theme of an international fine arts exhibition, which was held on the evening of August 2 by the Arts Teacher Training Club in collaboration with the Engaging With Vietnam, the Department of Culture and Sports of Thua Thien Hue Province, the University of Arts - Hue University, and the International Faculty - Hue University.
