It was established in Nijo, Kiyamachi, Kyoto, where our company was founded, in memory of Genzo Shimadzu, who started the business of manufacturing physics and chemistry instruments, burning with the ideal of a science-based nation. Approximately 600 documents and materials that are extremely valuable in the history of science and technology in Japan, including physics and chemistry equipment at the time of its founding and early medical X-ray equipment, are open to the public. In December 1999, it was designated as a national registered tangible cultural property, and in November 2007, it was certified as a "modernized industrial heritage" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for its significant contribution to the modernization of Japan's industry.
