Art, Rain, VR, and a Brewery

After breakfast this morning, Craig and I ventured out into Saigon. I had taken care of getting an international SIM card for my phone. It has been raining pretty good today.

We made a visit to the HCMC Museum of Fine Arts. There was a nice collection of painters and sculptors from before and after the war. Notable artists included:

Ngyuen Gia Trị
From 1940s, Nguyen Gia Tri formed his style of art and focused on topics about women and landscape.”

Ngyuen Sang
Nguyen Sang is one of the artists who drew a lot of oil painting, lacquer painting about the revolution.”

There was a cool Virtual Reality exhibit next door that incorporated the use of your cell phone’s camera. It’s pretty amazing what these devices are capable of when paired with different platforms. You can see it in the short video attached.

On the recommendation of a friend who used to live in Saigon, we are enjoying some great craft beers @ Heart of darkness Brewery.Read more
