Imperial
Fine Arts Museum : This museum was established in 1923 in the reign of
Emperor Khai Dinh. At present, this museum is located at 3 Le Truc
Street in an area of 6,330m2. The main building, originally called Long
An Palace (Emperor’s Security), was considered one of the most
beautiful palace in the Vietnamese imperial architecture. The palace is
1,200m2 wide and built in 1845 under the reign of Emperor Thieu Tri.
This is a magnificent wooden monument with over 129 precious wooden
posts. Hundreds of classical paintings and holy animals such as:
dragons, unicorns, tortoises, phoenixes and over one hundred poems
written with Chinese characters are inscribed on the wooden parts of
this palace. The skilled wooden carving and the dờstinct technique of
oyster and nacre encrusting has created for the Long An Palace a new
beauty, not exaggerated but precise.
