poster for "The Art of Time: European Clocks and Watches from the Collection" Exhibition

This event has ended.

The exhibition draws upon the Metropolitan Museum’s extensive holdings of English, Dutch, French, German, and Swiss horology, ranging in date from the 16th through the 18th century. Acquired primarily as decorative objects or as a specialized variety of furniture, some of these clocks and watches are equally important in illustrating technical developments in European clock making. While a few have never been exhibited previously and many have not been seen for more than a decade, some will be familiar to visitors from their inclusion in the galleries of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts but are now shown in a new and sometimes surprising context.
