Beautiful Hanoi ladies in flowing ao dai playing at the Tet flower market in 1940, 'subsidized' children in new clothes next to peach blossom branches, families visiting the old town in the still tidy time or standing close together by the lake watching fireworks on New Year's Eve in the 'first spring'...

36 works on the theme of Hanoi Spring selected from the modern art collection of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and Hang Trong folk paintings are being displayed in the Hanoi Spring exhibition at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum (66 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hanoi), opening on the afternoon of January 26.
Viewing the exhibition on the days before Tet, in the very cold weather of Hanoi these days, makes art lovers even more emotional when traveling back to the old Tet in Hanoi.
Viewers seem to follow beautiful ladies to the Tet flower market when looking at Nguyen Tien Chung's paintings, and enjoy the joy of Hanoi children in the 1960s with their colorful new clothes to welcome Tet in Nguyet Nga's paintings...
Or rushing into the Tet flower market in the old town, full of flowers and people in Le Dung's paintings, or leisurely going with the ladies to the Dong Da Mound festival in Tran Nguyen Dan's paintings.
Or holding hands with relatives in clean clothes, walking around the old Hang Ma street, still neat and quiet in Trong Kiem's paintings...

Viewers can also enjoy spring at the Temple of Literature, walk through Quan Chuong Gate, Gia Ngu Street in Bui Xuan Phai's paintings, and stroll through the joyful and colorful festivals in Tran Nguyen Dan's paintings.
And the emotions welled up when I joined the crowded line of people standing close together by the lake, watching the fireworks in the New Year's Eve moment of the 'first spring' of the unified country in Pham Viet Hai's painting...

The sacred New Year's Eve moment is also vividly described through the works of famous painters Le Quoc Loc, Nguyen Tu Nghiem...
In addition to viewing the paintings directly, art lovers can also experience the feeling of being immersed in a room full of spring colors thanks to digital graphics technology, projection mapping, and enlargement of Tet paintings covering the walls of an exhibition room.
The exhibition lasts until February 25.
