Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre
Ban Khamyong, Laos
TAEC introduces the diverse cultures of Laos through carefully presented exhibitions, textiles, objects and stories. It is especially useful before visiting rural communities, giving context to the different traditions you may encounter. The centre also works directly with artisans and offers guided visits and craft workshops, with a shop linked to its fair-trade work. Check which exhibitions and sessions are available during your visit, and leave time to browse beyond the display labels.
