Danang promotes fine art

DANANG Danang’s fine arts museum, the third fine arts museum in the country, opened, last week, to offer visitors glimpses of the central region’s culture.

Local media reported the museum was conceived and designed in 2014, while construction began a year later in May 2015 at the cost of UDS1.26 million.

It currently features 413 works of art, traditional handicraft products, and works of art by Danang’s art community. 

Visitors can see displays linked to history and culture in the region such as textiles, ethnic costumes, pagoda and temple sculptures, woodwork, masks used for classical drama and pottery.

The other two fine arts museums are in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
