When the new French Consul General in HCM City, Fabrice Mauries, took office in April 2011, the lacquer painting Dam Ruoc (The Procession) by one of Viet Nam''s noted artists was gracing the wall of the consulate reception room.
An ongoing exhibition at the HCM City Museum of Fine
Arts offers visitors a rare chance to contemplate priceless works by
big names from Vietnamese painting.
