Min-packs are learning packets for school children.  Each Min-pack is delivered in a suitcase and has a theme designed so that children can see and feel ethnological materials brought back from some region in the world and learn about the people who utilize them in their everyday life.  A Min-pack contains materials such as clothes, musical instruments, and other commonly-used artifacts, along with learning aids (such as a “Topic Sheet” for children), and instructions for teachers.  Min-packs are loaned to schools and other educational institutions and are returned to the Museum after use.  For further information, refer to the Japanese site.
