LONDON (VNS) — A collection of Vietnamese lacquer paintings and handicraft products was introduced to British visitors through an exhibition opened in London.

The exhibition is a part of activities to introduce and promote Vietnamese culture and tourism in the UK.

It's a chance for local people and Vietnamese overseas to contemplate 80 paintings and handicraft products by generations of artists that helped visitors have a panoramic view on the development of Vietnamese lacquer through periods.

The exhibition also reflected lacquer technique and the process of creating a lacquer artwork. It will run until Saturday. — VNS
