Sophie’s Art Tour was designed with the curious traveller in mind.
Vietnam’s intricate past and irrepressible present is not always easy to get your head around. That’s why this experience has been carefully created to shed light on the major historical events through the personal experiences of artists who studied, fought, witnessed and documented major changes in the 20th-century.
By visiting private collections, crumbling colonial museums and pioneering contemporary artist-run spaces, the timeline of colonialism, war, communism and breakneck free-market development starts to come into focus along with the extraordinary experiences of Vietnam’s artists.
