The combination of historical, partially unique exhibits conveys to visitors how optics serve as the soul of many devices, how such devices function as well as the significance of seeing and of light. Guests can try out historical and new glasses and test some optics phenomena in experiments. The museum also owns an extensive specialist library and collection about the industrial and regional history of optics.
