"The Vietnamese capital has a trove of cultural institutions that shine a light on the influences and events that have shaped the country. The Vietnam Fine Arts Museum is the country’s top art establishment, housed in a stately colonial building that was once a Catholic girls’ boardinghouse. Today its displays include contemporary, historic, and prehistoric works. Its collection of lacquer pieces is especially noteworthy, while its single most famous artwork is a bodhisattva said to have 1,000 eyes and 1,000 arms."

4 guided tours that explore a city's art and culture - SilverKris

"A traditional art institution frequently featured on curated walks that represents Vietnam’s classical and historical fine art; it provides a counterpoint to contemporary galleries and private collections and is commonly visited to contextualise newer artistic practices." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir

The Museum is a rabbit warren of rooms across several floors. Every space is interesting and full of excellent examples of the best of Vietnamese art over the centuries. The most modern period is well covered and this was a nice surprise. I spent nearly 2 hours there and was fully occupied. Afterwards, a got a hamburger from the on-site cafe. This was a good burger. I like burgers. 🍔

An informative museum with an extensive collection showcasing Vietnamese art through the ages. Card payments are accepted, which is convenient. However, the experience is somewhat diminished by the lack of air-conditioning and a musty smell throughout many rooms. While the exhibits are interesting, much of the art feels fairly traditional and basic with many pieces lacking descriptions. Worth visiting if you’re interested in Vietnamese culture, but be prepared for warm conditions inside.

Lovely museum with interesting artworks arranged by time period. Fantastic value for money. Reason for 4* rather than 5 is that I wish there had been more information about the art on display. There was an app available but it seems to have been designed for older operating systems.

Very good value museum. The structure of the museum is very logical, following different forms of art styles which provides a unique experience each room. There are 3 floors so it is quite large. Depending on how much you like to look at art you could spend an hour or much more in here. There is a good gift shop on the top floor where you can refill your water. The toilets are relatively clean and there are lots of staff / security available.

Great stop to make while sight-seeing. Artwork is beautiful but not a ton of information is provided & the layout of the museum is a bit confusing. Still worth stopping in to enjoy the artworks despite these things

Visiting the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi was a good decision. Housed in a stunning colonial building with Vietnamese architectural touches, the museum beautifully showcases the evolution of Vietnamese art from prehistoric times to modern works. The collection, featuring over 2,000 pieces, includes mesmerizing lacquer paintings, silk artworks, and intricate sculptures that tell the story of Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage. I was particularly moved by the vibrant folk art and the powerful wartime pieces, which blend patriotism with creativity. The layout is chronological, but a bit perplexing to navigate through, hence, I’d recommend the audio guide for deeper insights and clarity, as some English descriptions are limited. My only gripe was the occasional crowd of photo-takers, which slightly distracted from the serene atmosphere, however, it’s a common thing for such sights. Still, it’s a must-visit for art lovers and anyone curious about Vietnam’s history. Entry is only 40,000 VND, and the gift shop has unique souvenirs. Highly recommend!

A wonderful collection of artworks by Vietnamese artists. The museum showcasing both traditional and modern pieces. It has three levels, offering different painting techniques and sculptures from Vietnam’s rich history and culture. Therefore, I recommend spending 2-3hours here to fully appreciate the beauty and depths of these paintings and statues. I visited on weekday afternoons and there were only a few visitors which made me immerse myself better in the environment.
