Hurricane Sandy Forces Polaroid to Postpone Anniversary Celebration at MoMA

The Polaroid Eyewear 75^th Anniversary celebration planned for October 30 at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has been postponed due to the affects of Hurricane Sandy. A new date will be announced shortly.

At the planned celebrations, guests will discover, explore and interact with the brand's technology, heritage and innovation as well as learn how Polaroid Eyewear is moving forward into the future. They will be entertained by the music of the New York based DJ trio The Misshapes. Guests will be invited to experience polarization through a striking glare installation which will demonstrate the unique and perfect vision of the Polaroid polarized lens, and will also have the opportunity to preview, touch and try the new Polaroid Plus sunglasses collection. MoMA's collection of Architecture and Design includes an original pair of 1946 Polaroid sunglasses: a unique piece manufactured by the American Optical Corp. and donated to MoMA by Edgar Kaufmann Jr., heir to the famous family home Fallingwater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
