About Museum Of Times

The Museum of Time in Besançon, also known as the Musée du Temps, is located in the Palais Granvelle, a 16th-century Renaissance building in the heart of the city. The museum's collection includes clocks and watches dating back to the 16th century, as well as astronomical instruments, scientific and industrial timepieces, and contemporary art pieces related to time. The museum's exhibits explore the history and evolution of timekeeping, as well as the science behind measuring time. Visitors can see rare and unique timepieces, including the world's oldest clock still in operation, the fascinating "marble time machine," and many other examples of exquisite clockwork artistry. The museum also features interactive displays and hands-on activities, as well as temporary exhibitions that explore time from different perspectives.
