If you are not a clock lover or technology freak you might want to skip this museum. But if you are open minded and willing to look at design as well as on how it's made you will love this little cozy museum. The museum display clocks from the middle age until some years ago. It's amazing to see how... More

Worth it if it is raining and you want to get rid of €6. Some of the clocks are interesting, but all the descriptions are in German so you rarely knew what you were looking at. In fact very few of the exhibits had much by way of commentary anyway. Very few of the clocks are working. Definitely a 'hands... More

First of all, I think the collection is quite large, but I'm no expert. Then, the place itself is beautiful. A floor in a cosy baroque palazzetto with old wooden floors, irregular rooms, beautiful views from the tiny windows... It should be seen. It usually isn't crowded. More

Ironically enough, everything was so beautiful we lost track of time here! Try to be there at the turn of the hour: hearing all the clocks chime at once is magnificent! +Free for students More

Part of our tour group itinerary but if I was paying for it separate I would probably pass.... Very Clean and nice if you are into that sort of thing. I do believe we then ate on a 3nd + floor terrace covered with flowers - that was nice and worth it. More

Wonderful trip through time and the history of Vienna in this intimate museum. Located in an old Viennese house just of the Graben. The clocks alone are worth it. More

This museum has a good collection of old clocks and watches. However almost all the descriptions are in German and the staff didn't speak English so we didn't really know what we were looking at. I had read that the museum went through the history and science of time-keeping but didn't see any evidence of this. I'd also read that... More

In its heyday, Austria produced some of the most beautiful, ornate and complicated clocks in the world. This is a superb collection of both clocks and watches that will appeal both to those interested in decorative arts and those who are mechanically inclined. Entrance is on the ground floor, with only a few pieces on display there. Three floors above... More
