Fascination of optics
Experience over 175 years of innovation firsthand.
Join us on a fascinating journey through the world of optics.
More than 1,000 exciting and often unique exhibits on an area of 1,000 square meters.
In ten different categories, you can enjoy interesting, valuable and unexpected encounters with the history of product and technology development that are important to ZEISS.
The exhibition takes you from the present into the past: from leading-edge medical technology systems ad the photo of Neil Armstrong, which he captured with a ZEISS lens during the first moon langing, right up to one of Napoleon’s telescopes.
