The East Indies Museum is an online museum exhibiting an eclectic
array of traditional artworks from insular southeast Asia. This vast area
encompassing the Malay, Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos,
was for centuries informally known as the East Indies and includes
the modern-day nations of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Singapore and Timor Leste.
We would like to dedicate this endeavor to the artists and craftsmen who designed and created these remarkable works - especially the men and women who labored in obscurity and whose names will never be known.
