The BaBaBa Gallery, owned by Tina Vanichtheeranont, will display art, antiques and historic archives.

Vanichtheeranont first started collecting Vietnamese paintings 20 years ago. He now owns 2,000 pieces by renowned Vietnamese artists.

His valuable collection will be exhibited at the gallery.

For the last few years the Thai collector has organised several exhibitions in Bangkok to promote Vietnamese art. He has also brought leading Thai artists to Vietnam to paint and hold exhibitions.
