National Museum of Fine Arts

A significant attraction of Hanoi is the National Museum of Fine Arts, founded in 1963. It is located in a large three-storey building built in the colonial style.

The museum presents unique exhibitions, from antiquity to modern Vietnamese art, arranged in chronological order. Collections of works by Vietnamese artists, sculptors and architects are collected here. Several halls of the museum are dedicated to lacquer painting. It is worth noting the extensive collection of ceramic products and objects of traditional Vietnamese folk art.

The staff of the museum is doing a great job to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the country. On the first floor of the building there is a souvenir shop, which is very popular with visitors.
