He affirmed: "The budget for collecting artworks at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum is currently very limited, while valuable works are increasingly attracting the attention of private collectors, so collecting works is very difficult. However, with the love and trust of the families of painters and late painters, in recent times, the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum has been awarded many valuable works, including the family of painter Ngo Phuong Cuc. The painter's family's initiative to donate is a noble gesture, helping the Museum have the conditions to preserve and promote the value of the works of a generation of dedicated painters."

Sharing at the ceremony, Mr. Ngo Phuong Hai (son of painter Ngo Phuong Cuc) said: "My father was not formally trained but devoted his whole life to painting. He was fortunate to be guided by masters in the industry such as painters Hoang Cong Luan, Luu Danh Thanh, Nguyen Anh Thuong, Tran Van Can, Nguyen Sang... He always wanted his works to be preserved and promoted in Vietnam's museums so that future generations could admire them. That is why we have donated these works to the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum. I hope that these works will be preserved and promoted in a positive way, contributing to enriching and enriching the Museum's collection."
