Linh Chi, a student of the Academy of Journalism and Communication, said: “I really like these paintings. When I heard about the exhibition, I visited the fanpage of the Museum of Fine Arts to get more information. Seeing the exhibit with my own eyes was like reliving that glorious period of the nation’s history.”
As part of the exhibition, an Art Talk called “Master Painter Nguyen Tu Nghiem - Connecting Traditional Aesthetic Values with the Contemporary” will be held on Saturday. Nguyen Tu Nghiem was born in Nghe An province in 1918 and died in 2016. He was one of Vietnam’s most famous painters.
