If you’re looking for affordable, original art check out the Co Do Gallery. The collection is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices are some of the best we found for original art in Hanoi. I bought an original piece here and they helped organize shipping back to the USA. They also will give you the option of rolling the canvas for you if you want to travel with your purchase and reframe it at home. I had my piece shipped home in the frame and it arrived quickly and completely intact. I was very happy with everything and they take credit cards!

This shop, in the Old Quarter, sells original Communist propaganda posters. I popped in to see some of them as, wherever you travel in Vietnam, you’ll come across them on the side of the road. I love the look of them but sadly they’re not on the cheap side to buy.
