Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts

Why go

After the Temple of Literature's courtyards and stone records, this museum offers a different way to follow cultural history through objects and images. Its collections span media and periods, so selecting a few galleries is more rewarding than racing through. The building itself adds an architectural layer to the visit.

What to look for

• The museum spans Vietnamese painting, sculpture and other visual traditions.
• Its former school building offers another layer of twentieth-century architecture.

Useful to know

• Give the galleries a separate block from the Temple of Literature nearby.
