Who Are We?

The John E. Grievenkamp Museum of Optics is a series of display cases located throughout the eight-story Optics Buildings on the UA Campus. We house nearly 2000 optical devices, from cameras to telescopes and lenses to microscopes. 

Our Mission

​The John E. Grievenkamp Museum of Optics is dedicated to inspiring and motivating the local and international community to engage with past and future optical research through collections that tell the story of the history of optics.
