Nestled in a lush green area of 16,000m2, this is home to the first and largest art space in a substantial garden setting in Asia. A journey to the space is an art immersion for visitors, with step-free access and natural hospitality.

Paying homage to Hue as the cultural root of the world-renowned artist Le Ba Dang, the compound resembles an original artwork of the late artist, one that captures his art philosophy of a borderless space where man and the Cosmos are one. His signature work “Lebadang Spaces” is among the most remarkable artworks, earning him acclaim from European critics as “the Art Master of the Orient and the West” in 1957.

As the core experience of Lebadang Memory Space, visitors are most welcome to a comprehensive private collection of 293 contemporary artworks.

The courtyard is home to 2,532 plants and trees, creating a unique and native botanical enclave within the space.

The museum not only preserves and displays Lebadang artworks but also illuminates the art creation process and how art and the artists transform visitors’ experiences and our understanding of the world in which we live. It also introduces to the world audience a unique art form in which the artist works on paper, combining various techniques by using collage and superimposition, mid-way between sculpture and bas-relief, a synthesis reaching beyond these two forms of expression.

The space inspires visitors to enjoy the blend of artwork and nature, to feel ourselves as part of the expressive story, to be curious, to be thoughtful and to be enlightened.
