This "museum" presents man's methods and inventions for recording the passage of time--from shadow clock to an atomic powered mechanism.

An illustrated childrens book (age 10-12) on the history of timekeeping. Book reads like a museum catalog, a guide through the various rooms of a museum, and describes very specific timepieces, but strangely no specific museum is identified, so it could be a "guide to a fictional clock museum". Very factual and detailed, written with good insight into the history of timekeeping.
