'Mingei' is a composite word that is now accepted as meaning "art of the people," and this museum is surely that. Housed here, visitors will find an eclectic collection of folk art, crafts and designs from around the world including ceramics, pottery, textiles, dolls, masks, stone carvings and decorative objects fashioned by all peoples. Permanent and rotating collections are on display. Admission: $6 adults; $3 children ages 6-17; children under age six are free.
