Traveler reviews
Anne Easton
★★★★★2 years agoLoved this place. We were fascinated by the collection of mechanical clocks and other timepieces here from the 16c to the 20c. You must give yourself time to read the descriptions and details of the exhibits. It's absolutely fabulous. There are free lockers, with a €1 deposit, for your bags, and a tiny gift shop. Admission is inexpensive. Well worth a visit.
Jess Scott
★★★★★2 years agoWonderful museum! A great collection of clocks with interactive QR codes that show you what the clock looks like running or the history. We were fortunate to be there on the first Sunday of the month so admission was free but I'd recommend going even if you need to pay.
