The Extinct Media Museum in Tokyo showcases obsolete technology, featuring vintage cameras, old telecom equipment, and more. The hands-on exhibits invite visitors to experience these artifacts up close, preserving a piece of history for future generations.
Located in the heart of Tokyo, the Extinct Media Museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of obsolete technology. From vintage Sony devices and Betacams to floppy disks and the 1916 Japanese-produced "Lily" film camera, the museum houses a unique collection of old cameras and telecommunications equipment.
Founded on the idea that all media gadgets except for paper and stone—will eventually become obsolete, the museum highlights the evolution of technology through time. The collection is mostly composed of donated items, giving visitors the chance to engage directly with history.
The museum’s hands-on approach encourages visitors to touch and hold the gadgets on display, providing an immersive experience that appeals to all five senses. Explore the artifacts up close, feel their textures, and even discover the distinct smells of these vintage technologies.
General admission is 2,000 yen ($12.7), with discounts available for donors and students. The museum regularly accepts donations of old gadgets, allowing people to share their collections and preserve these items for future generations to enjoy.
