As a Professional Photographer and NPS member, it's so interesting to visit Nikon Museum!

This 130cm long glass ingot is a symbol of the Nikon Museum. Visitors are permitted to touch it. It is an embodiment of Nikon’s optical material manufacturing technologies.

In this display, you can see about 450 items, from the Nikon Model I to digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses. You can also enjoy a "Hands-on Corner", where you can handle SLR film cameras from various generations. In addition, in the "Brochure Library", you can view brochures of Nikon products on a specially designed monitor.
