Nintendo Museum, Video game museum in Uji, Japan.
Description
The Nintendo Museum in Uji displays exhibits spanning multiple decades, tracing the evolution from traditional playing cards through to contemporary gaming consoles. The collection showcases how the company expanded its product range across different entertainment formats and technologies.
History
The museum opened in 2024 on the site of the former Ogura Plant, where the company manufactured playing cards and serviced gaming devices for decades. This conversion of a working factory into an exhibition space reflects how the company has preserved its manufacturing heritage.
