The Fine Arts Museum in Ho Chi Minh City. This used to be the private residence of Hua Bon Hoa, one of the wealthiest traders in South Vietnam in colonial times. I'm still researching his history and will revert. Leica SL2S - Zeiss Biogon T* 2.8/28 ZM. Cheers, OtL

Fine Arts Museum, Ho Chi Minh City. This was once the private residence of a wealthy trader and without AC, the massive building was cool. Architects of the day knew how to optimize airflow.
