Hue Museum of Fine Arts to be established

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.

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.

“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.”

This is the first online art exhibition space in Vietnam with the aim of bringing art closer to the public and applying digital transformation to introduce and promote Vietnamese culture and art.
