About us
Our Journey
At first, we were curious about the culture of ethnic minorities in Vietnam. After experiencing their cultures and listening to their stories, we gained a deeper understanding, an immense appreciation for the beauty of traditional crafts. However, authentic handmade products, the basis of ethnic people's livelihood, are gradually being replaced by mass produced ones.
In November 2017, we moved from Saigon to Hoi An and opened An Nhàn - Exquisite Cultural Gallery, with the aim to preserve and raise awareness of the disappearing art of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. We collect their handicrafts in order to provide them with a livelihood and introduce their crafts to the world.
CULTURAL ART SPACE
Unique cultural gallery in Hoi An
An Nhàn - Exquisite Gallery is a 40-year-old stilt-house of the Tay minority. We moved the house from North-Central Vietnam to Hoi An in 2020 and started renovating in 2021.
Peaceful and relaxing space
An Nhàn is surrounded by a luscious green garden -- a tranquil and relaxing space to slow down and appreciate the present moment.
Crafts and more
At our gallery, not only will you learn about the crafts or artworks, but also about the life, the cultures and stories of ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
Where the beauty remains
Our artifacts are handcrafted by ethnic minority artisans with love and passion. They also contain the drive of artisans in preserving the beauty of craft through generations.
Special experience
Unlike in a museum, here you can interact with most of the handicrafts. By physically engaging with the pottery, textiles and wood sculptures, you can deepen your understanding and appreciation of the special techniques employed.
