Owner's Message
A unique museum in France
Located in Morez, the Eyewear Museum traces the history of metal-framed spectacles, which began in 1796 thanks to the skill of a master nail-maker. Discover how, thanks to their ingenuity and know-how, the people of Haut-Jura have developed a genuine industrial field, still recognized worldwide today for its quality and creativity. Through the EssilorLuxottica – history of eyewear in a journey that begins in the 13th century and takes you through Europe, Asia and North America. A creator of unusual models, Pierre Marly designed eyewear for some of the biggest stars of the second half of the 20th century, including Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn. Above all, this collector built one of the world’s most important collections of eyewear, from medieval spectacles to Sarah Bernhardt’s lorgnette, and the spectacles of Victoire de France (daughter of Louis XV).
