Nikon Museum is a museum of Nikon products, located at Nikon headquarters in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
The Nikon Museum opened in July 2017 to commemorate Nikon's 100th anniversary. It is the first facility to showcase in an organized manner a large number of optical products and technologies from the firm.[1] The museum occupies 580 square meters, and displays a range of historical Nikon cameras, microscopes, measuring instruments, and equipment for semiconductor photolithography.[1][2] The museum is the first of its type in Japan,[2] and houses approximately 40,000 items spanning Nikon's history. According to a Nikon official, the museum's purpose is to "protect the brand...[and] put out a new product that seems attractive."[2]
