MUSEUMS ECUADOR
Virtual Museum
The virtualMuseum primarily exists to display and document pieces of East Timorese traditional textiles, known commonly as tais. The Museum DOES NOT OWN any tais. It relies on gaining permission to display images of pieces owned by other institutions or individuals, including collections held by "bricks and mortar" museums and galleries. Through the images and the documentation, the Museum will make an increasingly complete story accessible to the peoples of East Timor (particularly the women weavers), to textile collectors, and to those interested in East Timor in general.
