Gallery tips for Luang Prabang

Gallery-going in Luang Prabang? A few habits help:

• The café is part of the visit at Friends Gallery. If the gallery has a café, use it. Lingering over coffee after the show is half the experience.
• Go to opening nights at Bounnachanh. Free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that wants to talk about the work. The best gallery experience there is.
• Ask about the artists. Local, emerging, mid-career — the gallerist can tell you who's who and why this show matters.
• Check for late openings. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
