In the center of Vienna, near Judenplatz Square, there is an old three-story building built back in the Middle Ages. Here, in the literal sense, is a repository of time - the Clock Museum. Thousands of dials dating from the 14th to the 20th centuries in every possible shape and form: wall clocks, floor clocks, pendant clocks, wristwatches, sundials, mantel clocks, pocket watches, chimes, pendulum clocks, cuckoo clocks, in figurines, paintings, toys, vases, jewelry - your eyes will dart around!

The history of the museum began with the personal collections of two people: a secondary school teacher and the first director of the collection, Rudolf Kaftan, and the writer-baroness Maria von Ebner-Eschenbach.

In this collection, you can trace the evolution of clockmaking, as well as the improvement of clock mechanisms. It is sad to note that over time the ancient magical beauty of clocks disappeared. They became more modern and... simpler.

One of the most amazing exhibits is the 18th-century astronomical clock by David Sancto Kahetano. It not only shows the time, but also determines with amazing accuracy the length of the day and the orbital positions of the planets.
