(VOVworld) - Seventeen artworks were sold for 18,000 USD at an auction held at the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts. They are among more than 61 artworks donated by artists to raise funds for rebuilding a Nha Lang in the northern province of Hoa Binh. The ancient house is owned by Vu Duc Hieu, director of the private Muong Cultural Museum. It was ruined by a group of careless tourists by the end of 2013. Hieu launched a campaign to rebuild the house through a series of fundraising activities such as exhibitions, fashion shows and art auctions.
