“With this event, we want to bring an original playground to the young people in Hanoi, and an interesting place for lovers on the occasion of Valentine’s Day,” said the Museum’s Director, Nguyen Thi Bich Van.
“The 20 floral installions were created by skillful hands of talented artisans. We expect it to be an ideal background for young people to take photos to capture the beautiful moments of this special day,” she added.
The artisans tell love stories through the colours and perfume of fresh (real) and artificial flowers made of clay and silk.
At the entrance of the museum visitors can admire the romantic “European Garden” created by Meritorious Artisan Nguyen Manh Hung, which includes tulips, hortensia and other flowers, as well as small statues and a small artificial lake.

Other highlights of the exhibition are a three-metre tall work made with thousands of small flowers, featuring the portrait of a happy young woman getting a flower basket sent by her lover.
Another work, entitled “Love Party Japanese style”, made by artisan Le Thi Ngoc Quynh from the Yukiko Design Company, portrays a party with chocolates, candles and flowers made of clay and decorated in the Japanese Ikebana flower arrangement art.
