The exhibition, the first of its kind held in the city, aims to introduce paintings from the traditional painting villages, including Dong Ho in Bac Ninh Province; Hang Trong and Kim Hoang in Ha Noi; Vu Di in Vinh Phuc Province and Doc Loi in Nghe An Province.

Painting villages have survived in Viet Nam for centuries, despite often warning popularity.
The exhibition organisers will allow visitors to watch and be guided by artists attending the show.

Visitors can explore the skills and techniques used by artists to produce the colourful art forms.
