Its about time . . .

Exhibition at the Museum

Exhibition now closed

The measurement of time has always been essential to human civilization – but never more than today. Without clocks we would not have the mechanised society we enjoy.

On display are clocks and other timepieces from the 19^th and 20^th centuries.  They range in size from small trench watches worn by soldiers in World War I to the tall English grandfather clock dating to around the mid 19^th century. 

Changing styles and uses of timepieces are reflected in the decorative mantel clocks of the early 20^th century, Moruya’s town clock keeping time for the town, and the suspended alarm clock waking us with its sharp reminder that the day must begin.
