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]
