The German Optical Museum in Jena is a unique world of experience for optics and photonics. As the leading national museum for optics, it combines around 3,100 m² of interactive stations for a playful understanding of physical phenomena, historical instruments and their applications in everyday life as well as fascinating insights into current topics in the ‘showcases of optics research’. A special highlight awaits visitors in the world’s largest glass archive, where tens of thousands of glass samples from SCHOTT’s production over the last 100 years are on display. With impressive architecture, innovative edutainment and space for education and dialogue, the D.O.M. is a lively place of wonder, learning and inspiration – a museum that combines science, history and the present.
