Open studio «Vũ Dân Tân. Gỡ mặt nạ nhà văn: Một trò chơi ký ức văn chương»

   Portraits with no names, only "Writer No. 1", "Writer No. 2"... and you are invited to guess who is who: a game of literary memory awaits in Ngọc Thụy.

   In 2009, while battling illness, painter Vũ Dân Tân began a personal tribute to his father, the publisher and playwright Vũ Đình Long. He painted a series of portraits of iconic literary figures whose works appeared in editions of his father's legendary publishing house, Tân Dân.

   At a glance:

• — An anonymous exhibition Vũ Dân Tân planned but never lived to see
• — An open studio conceived as an interactive puzzle: visitors "unmask" the writers behind the brushstrokes
• — Held by the Vũ Dân Tân museum to mark the artist's 80th birth anniversary
• — Open Wednesday to Saturday 10 AM–5 PM, Sunday 10 AM–7 PM

   It suits lovers of classic Vietnamese literature, painting enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys an exhibition with a bit of a challenge.

   How many writers will you recognise behind the paint?
