People from around the world should say “no” to war and shoulder responsibility for protecting world peace, said Pro. Dr. Truong Quoc Binh, Director of the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum at an exhibition entitled “Art in times of War” that opened in Hanoi on October 3.

On display are 45 etchings from the series “The Disasters of War” (1810-1820), by the famous Spanish artist, Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. Significantly, Dr. Hans Guggenheim, a German-American collector and the owner of the etchings, will donate 35 of the 45 masterpieces to the museum.
