Traveling Exhibits

The Museum of Vision is the only museum in the United States dedicated to educating people of all ages about eye care.  As part of our mission, the Museum of Vision provides portable exhibits at low or no cost.   These exhibits are suitable for a variety of ages and interests.  In the past we have displayed them at schools, fairs, association meetings, and community expositions.

For information about these exhibits, please contact museum staff for a complete schedule of venues and to learn about booking them for your community.
