Le Ba Dang Art Museum — Attraction in Hue City

Beautiful riverside building dedicated as a museum to the life and works of Vietnam's greatest artist, Le Ba Dang who died in 2015. The building makes an ideal showcase for an interesting and diverse cross-section of the artists 2 and 3 dimensional work, and includes photographs, notes and memorabilia from his life mainly in Paris, France. An audio-video documentary including many interviews with him is screened continuously in a small theatre and makes entertaining and enlightening viewing. There is a 30,000d admission fee which is excellent value. I ended up spending an hour and three-quarters here completely fascinated. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the arts, cultural history of Vietnam or whoever just likes looking at truly inspiring paintings...

Not many people during my 2hours visit (unhappily but so quiet!). Just near, is the Art museum with another great, great artist, Mrs Diem Phung Thi, don't miss her,...

When they’re still closed around 13:30, we tried to check every door and knock, because clearly the art gallery should be open today as the employees left their motorbikes, jackets, and helmets outside. Still, no response, so we gave up.

I know that punctuality unfortunately can’t always be expected, and we would’ve been fine with even 30 minutes tardiness. But beyond that is unacceptable. Very unserious and unprofessional.

(We extra checked the website for the opening hours. The one listed on Google Maps...
