Über
Schnelle Fakten: More than 1,000 clocks fill this sprawling museum, with some dating back three centuries and still ticking. Each room is a layered time capsule where cuckoo clocks share space with intricate mechanical music boxes and antique automata.
Highlights: One room holds a 12-foot-tall musical clock tower that erupts with moving figurines and chiming bells every hour, a mechanical performance that lasts nearly four minutes. Another chamber houses a clock that not only tells time but predicts the phases of the moon and the position of the stars, built entirely by hand in the 1800s.
Insidertipps
- Arrive just before the top of the hour to catch the grand musical clock performance from the best viewing spot near the tower room.
- The narrow staircases between floors mean strollers and wheelchairs will struggle, so wear comfortable shoes and be ready for steps.
- Photography is allowed without flash, but the dim lighting means you will want a camera that handles low light well.
- Skip the gift shop until the end of your visit, as the exit routes you through it naturally anyway.
