About
A small museum devoted to two very old questions: what time is it, and what is up there. The collection brings together wind-up, sun and wall clocks, spyglasses, star maps and instruments for measuring time, each explained by the people who work here.
A visit takes about an hour and ends in the little planetarium, with sessions of 30 seats. A few times a year we open at night, with telescopes in the courtyard, or spend a whole Saturday on workshops. See the next events below.
