Mingei International Museum
1439 El Prado San Diego, CA 92102
Fostering the universal language of art from all over the world.
Upon entering the first floor is free to view and explore with a gift shop and small restaurant included. If you are unable to visit in person the Mingei’s permanent collection is available to view online. How cool is that?
While you’re viewing the second level, (with paid admission) a tall reference library greets you. It’s filled with collections of paper craft, ceramic, jewelry, quilting, beads, costumes and more. Books are not available to check out, but you’re welcome to stay and read to your hearts desire. Membership is recommended if you plan to visit this library often. Otherwise known as; Frances Hamilton White Art reference library. Numerous levels of membership are offered depending on your needs.
My daughter and I spent a few hours strolling through the entire museum. It was really fun and exciting to inspect so many different forms of art. If you have a chance to come in person I highly recommend it!
Check out their calendar for upcoming events and exhibitions.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

The Mingei has some cool looking artworks. You new camera is doing a great job. Niki de Saint Phalle also created the Sun God at UCSD: https://stuartcollection.ucsd.edu/artist/de-saint-phalle.html
