Artstay Room 44 Guide by a local
Artstay Room 44 D1
here are my favorite local places ;)
Enjoy an extensive collection of Vietnamese art. The building itself has very interesting back story. It also hosts one of Vietnamese national treasure - "Spring garden of the central, south and North" by painter Nguyen Gia Tri which was damaged 30% by irresponsible restoration in early 2019. Come by to see what's left of the masterpiece and weep for it with me.
