STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - In the coming spring, Nationalmuseum in Stockholm will present an exhibition devoted to the pictorial world of the Pre-Raphaelites. This group of nineteenth-century English artists sought inspiration in mediaeval art. Their style is characterized by a conscious striving for beauty, existential themes and moral seriousness. The exhibition The Pre-Raphaelites will run from 26th February to 24th May 2009.

Over 140 works by famous painter Luu Cong Nhan were stolen recently from his house in Da Lat, raising the specter of art thefts in Vietnam.
