Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts

The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts is a major art museum located at 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Housed in a grand French colonial-era villa built in the 1930s, it is one of Vietnam's largest fine arts museums. The museum displays Vietnamese paintings, sculptures, lacquer art and ceramics from ancient to contemporary periods, and is notable for its architecture, art collections and central location near downtown attractions.

Visitors can expect a three-building complex centered on a striking yellow French colonial villa with arched windows, balconies and tiled roofs. Inside, galleries display Vietnamese fine arts including lacquer paintings, silk paintings, oil paintings, sculptures, ceramics and woodcuts from ancient to modern periods. The grounds include a courtyard with sculptures, staircases connecting exhibition blocks, and quiet gallery spaces for viewing art and photography.
