Yes, it's almost the exclusive format for cultural heritage object documentation in museums (I'm Senior Scientist at the Rijksmuseum). It's wonderfully versatile in terms of number of bands, storage format (uint8, uint16, float, double, etc.), compression, metadata, and, with the BigTIFF extension, it's basically unlimited in the size of the images it can store. As an example, my 717 GP image of Rembrandt's Nightwatch [1] is archived as a 5.6 TB TIFF file.

Another advantage is that it permits a tiled storage format so that pulling rectangular regions out of a huge file can be very efficient compared to formats that require scanline-based storage. On the other hand, if one uses uncompressed scanline-based storage, it is also possible to memmap the pixel data for a huge TIFF image directly into a big array and to trivially manipulate it in your programming language of choice.
