| I would never have thought to do this in Vietnam but it was by far my favorite. The photographer is simply incredible. I was inspired and awed by his skill and talent. You don’t have to like photography and still truly enjoy it. My whole family went a few times because it was that cool!
Aanrader!!! Geweldige expositie en gratis toegang. Zeker de moeite waard als je in Hoi An bent.
Galerie gratuite mais ressemble à un musée, un endroit magnifique de part le lieu, les photos, et la valorisation des ethnies si brillamment faite, je félicite ce monsieur pour avoir mis aussi bien à l’honneur ses peuples et de faire rayonner la France à l’international.
It was surprisingly a highlight of my trip to Hoi An! Beautiful exhibition full of passion.
Award winning portrait photographer seeks out the true ethic people of Vietnam. Each portrait comes with the story of the person and the region making this a living athology of Vietnam’s soul.
Truly a joy to visit.
Sehr schönes Museum mit kostenlosem Eintritt. Ich war überrascht von den verschiedenen ethnischen Minderheiten in Vietnam und ihre traditionellen Kleider. Definitiv ein Besuch wert, die Bilder und die Geschichte von Réhan und seine Reise und Fotos haben mich tief berührt!
Magic place. One of the most beautiful museum I ever visited. Highly recommended. Free enter
Beautiful place with all the knowldge about remote ethnic groups gathered at this unique place, must visit
Un travail de titan pour sauver la mémoire de toutes les ethnies du Vietnam, une œuvre pleine de délicatesse, de sensibilité, de tendresse. Le bonheur se lit dans ces clichés lumineux qui nous imprègnent longtemps, c’est magnifique !
Magnifique exposition au cœur des différentes ethnies du Vietnam ! Un travail remarquable, à voir absolument !
Un très bel endroit avec une ambiance très particulière. Réhahn qui était présent, nous a présenté son travail avec beaucoup de passion et de modestie. Bravo.
A beautiful concept, nicely executed displaying the remote cultures of Vietnam and the environs, with photos, clothing and artefacts. Free entry and worth checking out.
What a gem. We popped in for a “quick look” and ended up spending 2.5 hours. A remarkable and unique project. Actually, would have been nice to make an early stop here in our 2 weeks in Vietnam, and certainly to better understand the context of the awful Sa Pa “experience”
Absolutely marvelous exhibit. Highly recommended. This is the best tourist spot in Hoi An and a really beautiful ethnographic work.
A wave of emotion washes over me as I wander through the halls of the Precious Heritage Art Gallery. Witnessing Réhahn's dedication and love poured into projects celebrating Vietnam's diverse ethnic communities fills me with immense gratitude. The gallery unfolds like a captivating narrative, beginning with a vibrant display of photo books and postcards in the first space.
Moving into the gallery's heart, I immerse myself in the fascinating world of documentaries. Through these films, Réhahn unveils the intricate process of his remarkable work in remote regions of Vietnam.
Ascending the stairs, I am greeted by an alluring display of traditional costumes. Among them lie priceless treasures – the last surviving originals, crafted with techniques now lost to time. Each garment whispers tales of a rich cultural heritage, preserved with meticulous care.
Even the smallest details speak volumes of the gallery's dedication. The wooden frames surrounding portraits of ethnic representatives are meticulously laser-engraved with typical patterns reflecting their unique heritage.
The Precious Heritage Art Gallery is more than an exhibition, it is a journey of discovery, a must-visit place for any traveller seeking a deeper understanding of this vibrant nation.
Absolutely amazing place, a gallery, museum plus documentaries about the ethnic groups, I learnt so much here and was just mesmerized. Please come visit, allow 1-2 hours there's so much to see
Une exposition passionnante et vraiment inratable pour qui souhaite découvrir les minorités ethniques du vietnam. Un travail Fantastique réalisé par ce très bon photographe français. Un travail et une exposition fabuleux !!!
Courrez y vite! En plus c'est gratuit...
Sehr interessante Ausstellung zu sämtlichen vietnamesischen Völkern
! Für Kulturfans ein absolutes Muss.
Úzasné múzeum s oblečením typickým pre 54 etnických skupín žijúcich vo Vietname, s fotografiami krásnych ľudí a osobnými príbehmi zo života a stretnutí fotografa z domácimi. Okrem infotabuliek pri každom kroji sú tam tri miesta kde sa premietajú filmy, poskytujúce príjemnú prestávku od čítania. Súčasťou je aj obchod kde sa dajú fotografie kúpiť na pohľadniciach, drevených tabuľkách alebo v knižkách, múzeum samotné je pre všetkých zadarmo.
Strávili sme tam viac ako tri hodiny a vôbec sa nám to nezdalo pridlho, určite odporúčam!
What a lovely visit and exhibition! I am so pleased that we stumbled into the gallery and the amazingly captured images and traditional clothing.
Absolument magnifique, travail remarquable. Merci de faire perdurer toutes ses splendeurs.
Best museum I've visited in Vietnam. Walked around for hours seeing all the traditional costumes made by ethnic minorities, accompanied by some amazing photography and storytelling. If you want to learn more about hill tribes, you really need to see this.
Very nice. You can explore the tribes of Vietnam by the photograph displayed by Rehahn in his gallery.
Très belle exposition ! Très interessant toutes ces informations sur les ethnies. La visite peut se faire rapidement si on ne regarde que les photos, ou peut durer environs 1h30 si on prend le temps de tout lire. Entrée gratuite. Donc à ne pas louper !
You can learn here about ethnic groups than in Ethnology Museum in Hanoi. Book at least 2 hours to read all information and watch movie.
A fascinating insight into Vietnam’s ethnic minorities and their traditions, with some beautiful portraits.
I usually find myself enjoying a museum/gallery for 20 minutes or so and then swiftly moving on, but this small museum kept me engaged for well over an hour and I only left because I had to. Highly recommend.
Nice art gallery where you can also learn something about Vietnamese ethnic groups. Very nice staff which gave us also some insights in used photo techniques.
Hoy visité el museo y realmente me encantó. Una de las mejores cosas que vi en Hoi An.
Me emocionó mucho ver esos rostros auténticos llenos de humanidad y de historia, también se pueden ver trajes típicos de todo Vietnam que fueron donados por personas pertenecientes a esos pueblos.
Solo diré que es un lugar que no puedes dejar de visitar ya que además es gratis!!
Puedes comprar alguna fotografía que te haya gustado o alguna postal.
The magnificent exhibition of this museum amazed me. You will get to know the ethnocultural layer of Vietnam through photographs and national costumes from all over the country. The best part is the museum is free. You can buy both photographs and stylish postcards. I recommend!
Hele bijzondere en mooie plek. Zeker het bezoeken waard. Ik heb verder geen foto’s of video’s gemaakt aangezien ik zo in het moment zat en het ook gek vond om foto’s van iemand anders foto’s te maken. Aanrader!
Each time we visit Hoi An we go to the Precious Heritage Art Museum as it gets updated and the videos were excellent this year. We hope Rehahn continues to update this amazing free entry museum. We will continue to visit next time we are in Hoi An. Excellent display, beautiful books to purchase.
Fascinating insight into local culture. Brilliant photos, the man behind the magic is extremely talented!
If you haven’t been to the Precious Heritage Museum in Hoi An, I more than highly recommend it. 5-stars would be an injustice, it’s an immeasurable experience.
Reahan is an otherworldly photographer. Some say he has the ability to capture a glimpse of a person’s soul and I cannot disagree. Absolute magic.
I’ve been to The Louvre, I’ve been to The British Museum, but I’ve never been so moved to tears by a collection.
I did not know Vietnam is home to 54 unique tribes. I’m grateful to be a little less ignorant now.
Reahan’s devotion to his craft (scaling mountains, waiting many years for visas, traveling days just to get 25 minutes with a tribesmember, facing authorities, injuries and hospitalisation) is mind boggling and his commitment to highlighting the unique culture and beauty of the people of Vietnam is beyond admirable. Precious is a national and world treasure.
Fantastic, I love his work. I bought 10 postcards with beautiful pictures.
There was also movie that they played.
Very interesting museum that tells a story of a photographer opening the beauty of local ethnic Vietnamese groups to the world. When visiting read descriptions next to photos or costumes and watch the documentary they are very touching.
Невероятно интересное место! Открывает зрителю культуру Вьетнама и традиционные костюмы. Сам музей не большой, но экспозиция костюмов приличная, играет традиционная музыка. И я провела пару часов разглядывая вышивки, ткани, орнаменты (людей были не много). Потрясающие фотографии лиц: они такие живые, говорящие. Теперь появилась мечта попутешествовать по северу Вьетнама. Была невероятно удивлена что вход в музей бесплатный!
A must visit in hoi An displays beautiful photographs of people of all the different ethnic tribes of Vietnam and there traditional clothing. It is free to visit
Truly wonderful museum created by french photographer Réhahn. It was quite emotional, seeing someone sharing all that information about ethnic minorities in Vietnam and he does it with so much interest, passion and emotion.
100% recommend, one of the highlights of my trip to Hoi An
Fantastic work that shows in a very interesting and original way the culture of different Vietnamese ethnics. Congratulations!!
Le plus beau musée de Hoi An (voir même du pays). Très beau travail montrant beaucoup d'humanité, j'ai été très ému jusqu'à en avoir la chair de poule...
Wow this is was an absolute gem when we read about this place on a blog. The French photographer travelled around Vietnam to capture the rich histories of all the ethnic groups in some really remote areas. He is working to help preserve their history before they disappear all together from urbanisation! Definitely visit this place
Good museum to learn more about the tribe around the north of Vietnam. The photos were incredible. And it's free! Worth the visit.
