Regret not taking pictures but I was too mesmerised by all the clocks. Fascinating to learn how time measurement has evolved over centuries. The staff was super nice and friendly. There is a cute little corner outside (for free) telling the story about the building and its owners over the years. This is what all museums should be like. Cannot recomend this enough! It is an absolute gem to visit!
The house has 9 rooms in total and different era/styles in different room telling you a story about evolution of measuring time. Can use tablet for prerecorded guiding. Great collection and friendly staff. It also houses some famous oil paintings from Ukraine for some time. Also dont miss cosy and wide backyard with some intresting stone work!
A very nice place to learn about the history of watches. There is no similar museum anywhere in Europe. I definitely recommend visiting.
An exceptionally cozy place that we highly recommend visiting—both for guests of the city and for Klaipėda locals. The museum features many fascinating historical artifacts and cleverly arranged exhibitions, along with extremely helpful staff. We strongly recommend taking a guided tour—you’ll discover truly interesting facts about clocks and much more.

Fantastic and unique museum that takes you through the history of clocks 🕰️ ⏰ Starting from ancient clocks that utilised the elements like solar (sun for sun dials), water, fire and sand. I was amazed to discover that Egyptians were the first to create the sun dial and water clocks. You’ll see mechanical clocks, stopwatches,table clocks, pocket watches and even beautifully decorated Baroque and Art Nouveau clocks.

Really enjoyed this quirky, fabulous museum. Even the stained glass had references to time! Such a variety of clocks, from all over the world, telling the time in a myriad of ways. They are all well signed and displayed in such a beautiful building. Well worth a visit.
