The Optics Museum located in house No. 14 along Birzhevaya liniya is the first interactive and educational exposition in Russia dedicated to the main directions in which it had developed before and what it has achieved. The museum is located in the former Yeliseyevs’ house. The current exposition occupies the three main halls as well as a number of the former staff rooms in the former merchant Yeliseyev’s store. The first hall exhibits a collection of artistic and computed holograms and everything connected with holography. Here you can find a variety of holograms: from static and monochrome to dynamic and colour ones. The second (central) hall of the museum houses a retrospective collection of light sources “from the candle to the laser”. It includes samples of antique chandeliers, lighting fixtures, antique oil lamps, as well as modern lighting equipment, from kerosene to special ultraviolet and infrared light sources. The third hall is dedicated to optical materials and, most importantly, the optical glass. The museum prides itself in a unique collection of glasses from the Abbé catalogue produced in Soviet times at the State Optical Institute (GOI) and the Research and Technological Institute of Optical Material Science and Engineering (NITIOM). The other halls of the museum display stands telling visitors about interference, diffraction and polarisation of light, as well as showcasing operating samples of modern laser devices, e.g. levelling units, levels and distance meters. The museum also has a game room with laser musical instruments, a laser shooting range, and laser chess, as well as a corridor of ultraviolet illusions and even a hall of astronomical optics with a miniature planetarium. // Flat of the freeman, merchant of the 1st Guild G.G.
