Aarhus Øje
About This Museum
You'd never guess that one of the most fascinating collections in Aarhus is tucked away in an unassuming building, dedicated entirely to the history and science of the human eye. Stepping inside feels less like a museum and more like a curious friend's meticulously organized cabinet of wonders. I was completely captivated by the wall of glass eyeballs, each with its own tiny, intricate painted iris. It’s a quiet, deeply personal place that makes you see your own sight in a whole new light.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is the vast array of prosthetic glass eyes, but don't miss the antique spectacles and delicate surgical tools that trace the evolution of ophthalmology.
Visitor Information
It's centrally located on Helga Pedersens Gade, so it's an easy stop to weave into a day of exploring. Just check their website for opening hours as they can be unique.
