Son was productive since he was a youngster in Hue and then Saigon until he died at his home at 47C Pham Ngoc Thach Street in District 3.
Son used water colors, chalk and oil on canvas to present his offerings.
Most of the works are in the care of Son’s family but some are owned by art collectors. Son’s fans who love his music will see another side of the gifted musician in his art.
The exhibition is one of series of activities to mark the 10th death anniversary of the folk legend.
The show runs at the museum until April 15, and then will relocate to Saigon Morin, 30 Le Loi Street in Hue City from April 22 to 26 before a final stint at Gallery 39, 39A Ly Quoc Su Street in Hanoi from May 5 to 12.
