I can't recall ever having been in a cultural institution quite so decrepit as Saigon's Fine Arts Museum. It doesn't look bad from the outside.
The lack of air conditioning and guards can't be good for the art, mostly contemporary and all of it completely unknown to me.
The French colonial building was a great place to play peekaboo.
The portraits blew me away.
Thom was nearly blown away in the rooftop gallery.
He left me to cool off under a fan near the entrance.
