From a nail was born the spectacle...
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.
