The 3-day event is co-organised by Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and the Vietnamese Culture Centre in Laos.
Attending the opening ceremony were the Lao Minister of Information
and Culture Mounkeo Oraboune, the Lao Minister of Health Ponmek
Dalaloy; the Charge d’affaires of the Vietnamese Embassy to Laos Luong
Quoc Huy and other officials from the two nations.
On display are typical folk paintings of Vietnam such as the Dong Ho style (Bac Ninh Province), the Hang Trong ( Hanoi ), the Kim Hoang (Ha Tay Province), the Lang Sinh ( Hue ) and the 19 th century’s ancient worship paintings of Nghe An Province.
Through its profound contents, the exhibition helps spectators to
further understand the quintessential colours and meanings of the
Vietnamese folk painting genre, which are made of traditional materials
with an original artistry.
The exhibition, which also aims to further strengthen friendly relations between Vietnam and Lao, will be on display until March 10.
