Mingei International Museum of World Folk Art

Mingei is a Japanese word meaning "arts of all people". This museum presents exhibits of folk art from around the world, including Indonesia and New Guinea (multicolored masks, dolls, fertility symbols and shadow puppets) and Japan (decorative bottles, bowls and jars). Children will delight in the displays of international toys and antique carousels. Don't forget to visit the Collectors' Gallery/Museum Store for a wide selection of modern and antique arts and crafts. Climbing and touching the alligator outside is encouraged. The 3rd Sunday of each month is Family Day where it costs $5 to admit the entire family along. Located at the corner of El Prado and the Plaza de Panama, southwest of the fountain.
