A unique museum
From a nail was born the spectacle...
Located in Morez, the cradle of the French eyewear industry, the Musée de la Lunette (Eyewear Museum) invites visitors to discover the history of eyewear, which began in 1796 with the manufacture of a nail. Thanks to their ingenuity and know-how, the people of the Haut-Jura subsequently developed a veritable industrial sector, renowned the world over for its creativity and quality.
