About Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts
The corridors and details of the building reward a first look before you get to the artworks. The complex combines French influence with Eastern decorative elements; the collection brings together different materials, periods and ways of depicting Vietnam.
Give your attention to the paintings, sculptures and ceramics instead of using the hall as a mere backdrop for portraits. Its closeness to Bến Thành lets you slow the day down without much travel; check which buildings and exhibitions are open before choosing your route.
