Default 5" Magnifying Lenses : Looking for Design Ideas

I have 8 (maybe ten if I can find the other 2), 5" magnifying lenses.
The lenses come off of bench top light/magnifiers that are used for
assembly and inspection. When the light breaks, they toss the whole
thing in the dumpster. I scoffed the lenses. So, I'm looking for design
ideas that use the lenses. Incorporating them into a piece of furniture
for decorative purposes, maybe a lawn sculpture, maybe a table top with
the lenses let into it, small enough so that kids can get thier hands
underneath to magnify stuff. Who knows. There's something there, just
haven't figured out what yet.
Your ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Could also use them in a room divider/screen.

If used in a table you could have some kind of fretwork under it.
