ĐÀ NẴNG — Colours prove to be no fading matter as an exhibition of 43 paintings and sculptures by 36 local artists goes on display at the city’s fine arts museum, offering fresh perspectives on land and people, architecture, love, festivals and the heritage of Đà Nẵng.

The exhibition, entitled Colours of Quảng Nam, features works in watercolour, acrylic and sculpture, bringing together a range of materials to celebrate Reunification Day and the May Day holiday period.

The museum said the event highlights the long-term progressive changes in the city over the past 51 years and its expanding landscape following the merger of Đà Nẵng with former Quảng Nam Province.

It also provides an opportunity for both young and veteran artists from Đà Nẵng and neighbouring provinces to exchange views and share experiences through artworks spanning past and present.
