| Description | The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) was launched in July 2007 to promote understanding of Laos’ ethnic diversity and advocate for the survival and transmission of Laotian cultural heritage. It is the only independent museum and cultural heritage center in Laos dedicated to the collection, preservation, and interpretation of the traditional arts and lifestyles of the country’s ethnic groups. Currently, the Centre features exhibits, two brick-and-mortar fair trade shops with handicrafts produced by rural artisans, a small library, café, and kids’ activity area. The Centre received over 27,000 visitors in 2017 and has rapidly emerged as a regional leader in cultural heritage management and community development. As an independent organization, TAEC receives no funding from the government. The Centre was started with seed money from private donors and two foundations. Now, the Centre’s admission fees, tourist-related services, and café and shop income cover day-to-day running costs, and the organization operates as a social enterprise, with all profits invested towards its mission. | ||

PROTECTING CULTURAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: THE OMA IN LAO PDR
On 2 April 2019, the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) received text messages from a former employee who was traveling in Croatia. She had glanced into a Max Mara boutique in Zagreb and noticed patterns on clothing that looked exactly like those of the Oma ethnic group. TAEC staff recognized these designs immediately, as the organization has been working with Nanam Village, the largest Oma community in Laos, since 2011. TAEC has trained and worked with Oma women to create and sell products based on their craft skills, and conducted research on traditional Oma music, which is showcased in TAEC’s special exhibition, “Voices of the Wind: Traditional Instruments in Laos.”
