"Mysteries of Vietnam" - An exhibition of Vietnamese history through the lens of painting.

The exhibition "Mysteries of Vietnam" will open at 7 PM on March 20th in Ho Chi Minh City, showcasing oil paintings by young artist Nguyen Thanh Vu, also known by his pen name Vu.

He started out as an architecture student and developed a special affection for Vietnam's ancient architecture. His passion for architecture and painting drove him to seek out ancient sites across the country, and then to share their beauty with others through his debut exhibition – "Mysteries of Vietnam".

History is a lesson from our ancestors, and ancient architecture was also formed from the early days of nation-building, reflecting the imprint of the times - from wars against foreign invaders, the journey of spreading religion, to the integration of multiculturalism in religious architecture.

All of this is clearly expressed in each story, each anecdote tinged with mystery and legend. However, few people today truly understand or appreciate these wondrous tales. This is precisely why the "Mysteries of Vietnam" art exhibition was created, aiming to revive ancient architecture throughout the country, allowing the public to admire its timeless beauty and feel even more proud of the nation's architectural history. People live to witness life, and architecture lives to witness us, our birth, growth, and maturation over the years.
