If you are looking for a serene, free, and artistic cultural experience in Hue this November, spend a peaceful afternoon strolling along the banks of the Perfume River. Located just minutes from Alba Hotels, a unique “open-air art museum” is welcoming visitors and locals completely free of charge.

Hue International Sculpture Symposium 2026 – A Grand Artistic Gathering for the Public

Taking place from November 5th to November 15th, 2026, the 6th Hue International Sculpture Symposium 2026 – themed “Impressions of Hue, Vietnam – 2026” – is one of the key highlights of the Hue Festival 2026.

Stretching along the poetic riverfront park on the northern bank of the Perfume River (from Nghinh Luong Dinh to Da Vien Bridge), this sprawling exhibition brings together 29 talented sculptors (including 10 international artists from France, Spain, Egypt, Iran, Thailand, and Laos, alongside 19 Vietnamese artists).

Experience a Free “Open Gallery” in the Heart of the Ancient Capital

Unlike traditional indoor galleries, this 6th symposium embraces a strong community spirit by turning the lush greenery of the riverfront park into a grand open-air sculpture museum:

• Locals and international travelers can freely explore and observe up close as artists breathe soul into raw stone and natural materials.
• The 29 sculptural pieces showcase diverse perspectives on the people, culture, and rich history of Hue through contemporary artistic expressions.
• The seamless blending of green trees, the tranquil river, and intricate sculptural forms creates a peaceful walkway for quiet reflection and photos.
