A Few Museums

[solveig]

Greetings from Solveig!

I was trying to dig up links for a few more museums for the Kaminari web page and thought to post them here. A bunch of these site are probably already well known to folks here, but I'm trying to track down a few of the museums that I have been to. I'm not absolutely sure that I have found the correct museum in all cases.

www.mori.art.museum/html/eng/index.html
www.tnm.go.jp/en/
www.gotoh-museum.or.jp/collection/index.html
www.mingeikan.or.jp/english/
www4.ocn.ne.jp/~s-mingei/e-top1.html

Here are are a few museums which I ran across while trying to find another museum:

www.mingeikan-osaka.or.jp/collect.htm
www.minpaku.ac.jp/english/
www.nihon-kogeikan.or.jp/english/main.html

Here are two directories of rather a lot of Japanese museums:

This is a link for the Toyama Municiple Folkcraft Village which includes a mingei museum and an archeological museum

www.city.toyama.toyama.jp/division/kyouikuiinkai/minzokumingei/index.htm

I believe that this is a link to one of my favorite museums. If the link is correct, the collection is not necessarily spectacular, but you can pick up and examine a lot of the stuff in their collection:

Originally, it was housed in an old school or something, but later they added a modern museum building, but kept the school. The stuff in the modern museum building was generally look but don't touch.
