The Yellow Gem of Saigon: Inside Ho Chi Minh City’s Iconic Art Museum 💛

📍Address: Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts 97A Pho Duc Chinh Street in District 1 Golden Hues & Quiet Moods: My Afternoon at Ho Chi Minh City’s Art Museum 💛 Tucked away on a quiet street in District 1, the moment I stepped into the sun-washed yellow building of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts, it felt like time slowed down. The colonial-era architecture—with its grand staircases, stained glass windows, and creaky wooden floors—tells just as many stories as the paintings on the walls. The open balconies offered views of the courtyard below, framed by the building’s signature mustard-yellow walls. The contrast of old French design with Vietnamese soul gave me chills—in the best way.
