Visiting the BOA Museum

The British Optical Association Museum is open to the public most week days and we are delighted that you would like to come and see us.

You can access the museum in three ways. You may visit our formal display, study our reserve collections or arrange a tour of the College Meeting Rooms (also known as a 'Building Tour'). The first two options are free of charge but there is a fee to go on a Building Tour.

Please read the information relevant to your circumstances (Individuals or Groups) before making your appointment.
