Nicely laid out museum showcasing Vietnamese art in different forms throughout history. The main building houses works of art from the past and a gift shop on the top floor. There’s another building with ceramics on the basement floor and a temporary collection of modern art on the upper floors. It also looks like some of the art work in the contemporary sections can be bought. There’s quite a lot to see in the two buildings and if you appreciate art, you could easily spend about 2-3 hours at the museum.

Amazing experience with a unique take on Vietnamese arts and culture. Entrance ticket 40k Dong. They have two different buildings, 2 and 3 floors in total. The collection ranges from ceramics, enormous sculptures, and paintings from different eras and themes. They are having seasonal exhibitions too. Currently displaying the massive bronze drums collections from 2000 years ago, truly a sight to behold.

If you are in Hanoi you must pay a visit to this museum! It's well curated and comprehensive of all Vietnamese fine art history, from the prehistory to the XX century. Noteworthy: a couple of outstanding Buddha wooden statues of the 17th century, with many arms; the amazing portrait of a girl; modern sculptures with avant-garde influences. Please dedicate a whole day to the visit. Don't forget the awesome souvenir shop, where you'll find kind assistants and beautiful local handcrafted objects. Plus: amazing coffee bar and area to explore.

If you are an art enthusiast or a traveller with eccelectic taste you should definetly visit this museum. It has many replicas of the original pieces located throughout vietnam temples, pagodas, museums etc. Many artistic rooms ranging from paintings, sculptures, lifestyle, etc. Throughouly enjoyed, wished could have more time to savour in all the details

Worth the visit! I was able to know more about the country and how they sustained their art even during art. My realization with the tour is that art cannot be limited (by war or anything). The flow of the galleries inside were very easy to get by. Tho you should expect stairs as you go up each gallery. But at the roof top you would be greeted with a nice city view plus souvenir shop. They also had free stamps that you can use.

Basically all figurative paintings… nothing too special about this museum. With the booking of the economy, I’m quite disappointed with the local art scene. The rich history and the conflicts didn’t really converted into something more artistic. Artworks are all very repetitive and lack of proper curation.
