Dedicated to the traditional textiles of East Timor

	By making the traditional textiles, the "tais", visible world-wide, the virtualTais of Timor Museum seeks to highlight the quality and diversity of East Timorese textiles. To see the pieces in the Museum, look into The Collection. (last updated on 6Jun2002)
	Secondly, the Museum seeks to place the traditional textiles in their social and cultural context. Tais are an integral part of East Timorese culture - they preserve heritage and they are part of many ceremonies and important occasions. To read of this, look into Stories of the cloths.
