Blue Space, or Khong Gian Xanh in Vietnamese, is an independent art space housed in the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts, though its operations are completely independent of that institution. Mrs. Tran Thi Huynh Nga, widow of the self-taught artist Tran Trung Tin (1933–2008), founded it in 1996 as a place for artists to exercise their freedom of expression.
