Held by the museum in collaboration with the French Institute of Viet Nam in Da Nang, the exhibition features the display of 15 sets of photos honouring the beauty of women in life.

The photos were taken by 15 young photographers from Ho Chi Minh City and Thua Thien- Hue Province during their participation in two photography workshops organised by the French Institute of Viet Nam in January 2020 in the two above-mentioned localities respectively.

The works were done by the young artists under the guidance of famous photographers such as Maika Elan, Binh Dang and Nicolas Cornet.

The exhibition is an opportunity for young photographers to reflect themselves through a series of images showcasing inspirational stories about women.

In addition to admiring these photographic works, when visiting the exhibition, the visitors have the chance to read articles about some typical female characters of Viet Nam written by French journalist Sabrina Rouillé with illustrations by artist Le Phi Long.

Outstanding works on display include ‘Noi’ (Grandmother) by Nguyen Manh Quan; ‘Chi Dau’ (Ms. Dau -the main character in classic Vietnamese literary work ‘Tat den’ [Turn off light]) by Nguyen Kim Nhi and ‘Cho ca Vinh Hien’ (Vinh Hien Fish Market) by Do Minh Hoang.
