National Museum of Spectacles Amsterdam


Gasthuismolensteeg 7
1016 AM AMSTERDAM
Neighbourhood: Dam

National Museum of Spectacles (Brillenmuseum) grew out of the passion of a private collector for optometric objects. Two floors of this lovely 17th century building illustrate spectacle fashion and history spanning 700 years. The museum is located in Amsterdam's charming Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets).

Art of glasses
The National Museum of Spectacles allows you to travel through 700 years of art, culture and history of spectacles in gorgeous premises, which dates back to 1620. On the ground floor you will also find a recreated 1930s spectacle shop, which sells historic frames and some more modern models.
