EINSTEIN’S EYES

Where They’re Located: A bank vault in New Jersey

How They Got There: About the same time that pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey absconded with the brain mere hours after the famed physicist’s death in New Jersey in 1955, Einstein’s ophthalmologist, Dr. Henry Abrams, removed the eyes. Abrams placed them in a jar and locked them away in a bank vault. Although rumors pop up from tme to time that the eyes will be put on the auction block, Abrams, 84, maintains that he has no plans to sell them. “When you look into his eyes, you’re looking into the beauties and mysteries of the world,” he said. “They are clear as crystal; they seem to have such depth.”

Bonus Star Wars Fact: Yoda’s eyes were based on Einstein’s.
