Language and languages form an integral part of human life. In this sense, it is finting that the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka, Japan (hereafter "Minpaku"), which focuses on human culture and society, has housed and maintained language exhibits since its establishment in 1977. Languages, however, unlike objects exhibited in the other galleries of Minpaku, consist of sequences of signals and do not have shapes as solid objects. Therefore, to "exhibit languages" in an ethnology museum can become a challenge in that it is necessary to be creative in departing from the existing exhibition method and coming up with ideas to show linguistic signals and abstract ideas related to the nature of language in a comprehensive fashion. This is likely one of the reasons that few museums have a section for "language exhibits." Minpaku is unique în having one since its foundation.
