The NMWA lends and sells Art Card Sets which are a fun way to play and learn about art at the same time. These cards feature 65 works of art owned by five member museums of the National Art Museum (National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; National Crafts Museum; National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; NMWA; and, the National Museum of Art, Osaka). The 13 works of art from each museum were selected on the basis of their ability to naturally engage children in a dialogue with the artwork. There are also six architecture cards, featuring the buildings of those five museums and the National Art Center. The art shown on the cards includes paintings, sculpture, prints, photographs, decorative arts, and architecture, from Japan and the West, and date from the medieval period through the present-day. An accompanying pamphlet explains lots of fun ways to play with the cards, and explanations of each artwork. We hope that these cards will be used to introduce art appreciation methods and content both in ordinary classroom settings, and as preparation for visits to art museums.
