This exhibit is at Grand Central Terminal. It's really small but very informative history of eyeglasses in Italy. I was surprised to find out that Venice was the epicenter for manufacturing glasses. Also, the evolution of the eyeglass from the nose spectacles to present day design. The sunglasses on view were pretty interesting in regards to design and that most were handcrafted. It drove home the point of great Italian design and craftsmanship.
monocle!!!!! what a random day at the met that was... lol
