Located in Morez, the capital of the French eyewear industry, the Eyewear Museum traces the history of metal-framed eyewear, which began in 1796 thanks to the skill of a master nail-maker. Discover how the people of the Haut-Jura, through their ingenuity and craftsmanship, developed a fully-fledged industrial sector that is still renowned worldwide for its quality and creativity. Through the EssilorLuxottica/Pierre Marly collection, one of the world’s most important eyewear collections, this unique museum in France also invites you to explore the global history of eyewear on a journey that begins in the 13th century and takes you across Europe, Asia, and North America.
