Nikon Museum, Corporate museum in Shinagawa Intercity, Japan
The Nikon Museum displays over 450 cameras ranging from early models to modern digital SLRs, along with optical instruments and industrial equipment from across the company's history. The collection shows how the manufacturer evolved from optical precision engineering into a diverse technology producer.
The company started in 1917 as an optical instrument manufacturer before expanding into camera production. The museum itself opened in 2015 to document this long evolution from the company's earliest days through the digital era.
The exhibits show how photographers using Nikon cameras became influential in war reporting and journalism, shaping the company's reputation for reliability and precision worldwide.
The museum is located on the second floor of Shinagawa Intercity Tower C and is open Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free, and visitors typically spend between one and a half to two hours exploring the exhibits.
The Lens Laboratory section lets visitors experiment with optical principles through interactive displays and hands-on demonstrations of how lenses work. This hands-on approach makes the complex science behind camera optics understandable to people of all backgrounds.
