Beautiful, Tsunami-Battered Nais Island

April 18, 2005 9:16 AM

Located west of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the tropical Island of Nias is renowned for its traditional buildings and archaic stone sculptures. In the 1920's, Danish doctor Agner Møller studied the local culture and language and created a unique collection of art, artefacts and photographs from Nias for the National Museum of Denmark.

Damned! Actually, it turns out that the same article is *also* on the site you have linked to. Why do people do that? Anyway, breezeway, it was interesting trip. Thanks.
