Photogalleries to be loaded in the future include:

1. Glimpses of the textile collections in the Textile Museum (visited in 1996) and the National Museum in Jakarta (visited in 1997 with a small number of textiles on public display) which I hope will encourage visits by those lucky enough to be in Jakarta with a little time to spare.

2. The Textile Museum, housed in the 19th century house of a French resident of Batavia, in the peace of a relatively early Sunday morning was a joy in such a busy city as Jakarta in 1996.

3. Galleries of Toba and Karo Batak architecture and some of their weavings from a journey through the Batak lands to Lake Toba in 1997.

4. A group of modern Sumban weavings in the traditional style photographed in 1997 hanging on display in the grounds of the Jakarta International School - a serendipitous opportunity which occurred when my visit to talk to the pupils coincided with that of a family group of weavers from Sumba organised by Cathy Forgey, an American then living in Jakarta.  In addition there are a few shots in Cathy's home of some beautiful older pieces which the weavers had brought with them.  

5. A few shots taken in August 1997 in the Made Rauh Art Gallery in the Jakarta home of the a textile dealer, Made Rauh (14 B Jalan Ashirot (off Jalan Raya Keb. Lama), Kp. Kecil, Keb. Lama Sukabumi Selatan, Jakarta Barat 11560)  who had some particularly fine antique textiles from Sumatra.
