Visit Goethe Centre to meet “Venus in Vietnam”

According to information from the Goethe-Institut Vietnam in Hanoi, an artistic exhibition named “Venus in Vietnam” is currently taking place at this center (56 - 58 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Hanoi) from October 3 to 14, 2025. This is a free admission event, in keeping with most of the events organized by the center.

The exhibition showcases a collection of installation and sculptural artworks by the late Vu Dan Tan (1946 – 2009) and Nguyen Nghia Cuong, celebrating the beauty and essence of femininity. Among the pieces displayed are several works by Vu Dan Tan that have never before been introduced to the public.

Vu Dan Tan and Nguyen Nghia Cuong are two prominent Vietnamese artists known for their contributions to installation and sculpture, each representing different eras in the landscape of Vietnamese art. While the late Vu Dan Tan is celebrated for his numerous renowned works depicting women, Nguyen Nghia Cuong is establishing his reputation in contemporary art in Vietnam today.
