The National Museum of Ethnology, also referred to as “Minpaku”, is Japan’s largest research institution dedicated to the humanities, including archaeology, linguistics and the arts. The facility is located on the former Expoland grounds.
Several times a year, the museum puts on special events. Recently, they hosted visitors from various Oceanic cultures, who performed ritual dances and instructed museum visitors on how to make traditional teas.
The National Museum of Ethnology houses thousands of artifacts in their permanent and temporary exhibits, gathered from cultures around the world. The institute also boasts a large audio, film and photographic archive.
Access to the Expoland grounds, where the museum is situated, is closest to Bampaku-kinen-koen station, on the Osaka Monorail Line.
From downtown Umeda, you’ll either have to ride the Midosuji Subway Line to Senri-Chuo Station, or the Hankyu Takurazuka Line to Hotarugaike Station, before transferring to the monorail service.
