The event, held in collaboration with the Hanoi Ceramics Museum, will provide art lovers, history buffs, and culture enthusiasts a fascinating look at paintings and sculptures created when few people had access to institutional learning and were self-taught.
  

These citizens—our Vietnam forebears—left behind a visual legacy that serves as the foundation of the art world we experience today.

Among the many paintings are 12 by collector Nguyen Thi Thu Hoa; many ancient Buddhism pieces; maps, posters and print art; and glass paintings of churches and temples that will open guests eyes to the expressive power of art.
