Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye

The Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye stands as the only public museum in the world dedicated to the science of sight. Housed on the ground floor of the American Academy of Ophthalmology headquarters, it maintains a massive collection of thirty-eight thousand artifacts that trace the history of eye care from antiquity to the modern era. While many medical collections remain tucked away in private archives, this space serves as a dedicated public bridge between complex ophthalmic research and the general curiosity of visitors.
