Hồ Chí Minh City Fine Art Museum was set up as the result of a decision of the City’s People's Committee in September 1987, but it was not officially opened until 1991. The museum is charged with collecting, keeping, preserving and displaying fine art works typical of the Vietnamese people in Hồ Chí Minh City and the southern provinces. The building comprises three floors of exhibition space; the third floor exhibits antiquities ranging from artefacts recovered from the Óc Eo archaeological site in the Mekong Delta to Chăm sculpture and 17th-20th century decorative Vietnamese furniture; the second floor displays contains paintings, sculptures and lacquerware by many leading Vietnamese artists of the last 50 years, including Thái Hà, Quách Phong, Nguyễn Sáng, Hoàng Trầm, Tú Duyên, Nguyễn Thanh Châu, Trần Văn Lắm, Nguyễn Hải, Dũng Tiến, Phan Mai Trực, Hồ Hữu Thủ, Nguyễn Trung, Trịnh Cung, Đỗ Quang Em, Diệp Minh Châu and Nguyễn Gia Trí (with a separate room reserved for the works of the latter artist); and the first floor is utilised for special exhibitions. The contemporary Blue Space Contemporary Art Centre, located near the entrance, is run by the museum:
