Museum of Timekeeping
Embark on a journey through the annals of chronometry every Friday from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm at the Museum of Timekeeping, located in the serene village of Upton, Nottinghamshire. This institution stands as a custodian of time, offering a sanctuary where the ticking symphony of speaking clocks and the storied precision of Captain Scott's watch await your discovery.
Within the walls of our Museum lies a diverse and extensive collection that chronicles the evolution of timekeeping. From the rudimentary grace of sundials to the sophisticated accuracy of atomic timekeepers, each piece narrates a chapter of ingenuity and timeless craftsmanship. Our exhibition invites connoisseurs and curious minds alike to traverse the history of these remarkable devices that have punctuated humanity's existence.
The Museum's library, a treasure trove of horological literature, provides a space for reflection and study, offering insights into the milestones of timekeeping and its profound impact on civilization.
As stewards of horological heritage, we strive to create an engaging and enriching atmosphere that honours the legacy of timekeepers past. We extend a cordial invitation to individuals and families, scholars and enthusiasts to connect with the perpetual dance of hours and minutes in a setting that both educates and inspires.
The Museum of Timekeeping is more than an exhibition space; it is a vibrant community hub where the narrative of time is told through the silent voices of clocks and watches.
