At the very beginning of the Meiji Era, the Ministry of Education was established and it began to manage collecting things like products, minerals and works of art and so on in the context of 'education'. Since then, museums had been one of the important institution of education and also exhibitions, which were opened frequently in cooperation with local authorities and several local groups, such as boards of education and voluntary groups. The purpose of this article is firstly to describe the brief history of the educational policy on collecting since the Meiji Era to the early Showa Era, and secondly, to examine the concept of collections in the institutions of popular education. In Chapter one, the process on collecting special products and exhibiting them that was practiced by the powers of the nation in the early Meiji Era is confirmed. In Chapter two, some reports on the institutions of popular education in local authorities and some kind of exhibitions in the early Taisho Era were examined. Chapter three, multiplication of exhibitions and museums with standardized information in the Taisho Era is described.
