Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye, 645 Beach Street, SF
Free – RSVP

If you’re a fan of strange and sometimes spooky historical stories, then this is the Halloween tour for you. Join a museum staff member on a walk through the museum exhibits that will discuss some of the eerie twists and turns on the way to modern medicine, like medical graverobbing, photographing murder victims’ eyes, and more.

There will also be a special display of our collection of 19th century hand-blown glass eyeballs – this fascinating set was meant to show the progression of infectious diseases in the days before antibiotics. Check them out before they return to the museum vault for another year!
