A great museum of Vision that will speak to all ages and at all depths of knowledge. I especially liked the exhibits relating to world wide comparisons of symbolism among different cultures. The touch key interaction was easy to navigate. The actual antiquities on display are priceless. There was a very interesting Latino traditional craft tree Ochos de Dios on display. Keep changing the exhibits. So that I can see something different and return. Admission is free !
Not to be missed! Has some of the most important artifacts in the history of ophthalmology and ophthalmic surgery. Has a collection of the original intraocular lenses, the very first slit lamp/eye microscope and a number of other interesting items. It’s also free and in a really nice area near Ghirardelli Square.
An excellent museum that includes exhibits on common eye structures and conditions. Ophthalmological instruments and artifacts are associated descriptions of their clinical indications and brief historical sweep in which they occurred in the history of the discipline. I missed the tour, which would have been an added bonus. There is extra gravitas when the facts are with the exhibits. I was impressed. Glaucoma, strabismus and retinal diseases were covered. Even there is a factoid about Peanuts' Lucy I could produce, but it was about St. Lucy, who lost her eyes and was martyred, adding a bit to the notion that love is blind!
Very cool museum. Was very informative and interesting to go through. Love some of the interactive exhibits they had. It was free but I would have easily paid $20 for itVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Everything about eyes! An amazing museum of great knowledge.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I love museums and have never been to one focused on eyes so I had to make a visit since I was in the area. It was very informative and also had some interactive exhibits. I’d suggest making a visit! Staff is very friendly and it’s free.
FREE, with interesting information and hands-on exhibits, what else could you ask for? I enjoyed the exhibit, which included interesting trivia about how our sight is sometimes fooled and detail explanations about how it anatomically works. I highly recommend it.
This was a nice free museum about the history of ophthalmology and eye surgery. It’s a quick walkthrough but interesting if you enjoy the sciences.Wait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of the Eye and meeting its highly knowledgeable and professional director. It was an enlightening experience from start to finish. The museum's curated exhibits seamlessly blended art, science, and history, offering a captivating exploration of the human eye. The interactive displays added an immersive and enjoyable element, making learning both educational and entertaining. The director's expertise and passion shone through, enhancing the entire visit. I highly recommend the Museum of the Eye to anyone interested in expanding their understanding of vision and its remarkable significance in our lives.
