The Da Nang fine arts museum, the third fine arts museum in the country, opened to the public on December 19.

The Da Nang fine arts museum was set up in late 2014 and its construction began in May 2015 on nearly 2,000 square meters at the cost of 29 billion VND (1.26 million USD).

On its inauguration, the museum received 33 valuable works from the Vietnam Fine Arts Association. 

It currently accommodates 413 works of art, traditional handicraft products, and winning pieces by artists from Da Nang and the central and Central Highlands regions since 1976. 

Visitors are also able to contemplate fabric patterns, ethnic costumes, pagoda and temple sculptures, woodwork, masks used for classical drama and pottery.

The other two fine arts museums are in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
