British Optical Association Museum (map) is the oldest and best optical museum in the world. It is located within the College of Optometrists on Craven Street, Charing Cross.
The British Optical Association Museum was founded by John H. Sutcliffe OBE of the British Optical Association in 1901, to showcase a huge collection of objects and archived documents related to the history of ophthalmic optics, the human eye and visual aids.
When the British Optical Association was disbanded in 1980, the museum was taken over by the College of Optometrist. It continues to use its original name.
