April Fools: After Hours is back by popular demand.

The Museum of the Eye will take our collection of 19th century medical quackery out of the vault for a special after-hours event. If you missed our “Hoodwinked: 19th Century Quack Medicine” exhibit last year, now is your chance to see these fraudulent electronic devices, patent medicines, and more.
