This year come out to see our 2011 only display on Vision through the years.
This display is in the hallway leading to the building with the tractors and machinery.
Over time vision aids have been employed for a variety of purposes other than correcting vision. Some of their uses have included communicating social status, creating fashion, and as objects of art. In this exhibit we explore how vision aids were used as spy devices, providing men and women with a covert means of looking at each other. |
European society from the mid 1600s to the end of the 19th century used monoculars, binoculars, lorgnettes, fans, and walking canes as spyglasses. Chronicling the development of these vision aids, we uncover public contempt of and private fascination with the phenomenon of spying. |
