The Nintendo Museum is a museum located in Kyoto, Japan, that features exhibits of Nintendo's products, from the hanafuda playing cards it produced when it was founded in 1889 to the Nintendo Switch. It was built on the site of the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant where the hanafuda and other playing cards were manufactured and is set to open on October 2, 2024. The museum was announced in a press release on June 2, 2021, under the tentative name "Nintendo Gallery".[1] On August 19, 2024, a Nintendo Direct was published where Shigeru Miyamoto provided a tour of the museum, many of the areas of which are themed after the Super Mario franchise.[2] It is located at 56 Kaguraden, Ogura-cho, Uji-shi, Kyoto 611-0042.[3]
