The Mingei International Museum is a non-profit public institution in Balboa Park in San Diego, California, that collects, conserves and exhibits folk art, craft and design.

Mingei International Museum was founded by Martha Longenecker, Professor of Art Emerita, San Diego State University.

In August 1996, Mingei International was relocated to the historic House of Charm on the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park.

In its 30-year history, Mingei International has presented 140 exhibitions, accompanied by related lectures, films, demonstrations, workshops, music, theater and dance.

The collections contain artifacts from the 3rd century BCE to the present day and include objects as diverse as ancient clay vessels and 21st-century Venetian glass.
