Curios from our storeroom and museum
Special exhibition from 1 – 29 February 2008

Timepieces and the measurement of time are actually a serious matter, for each tick and each forward movement of the hands remind us of the transience of time and that we ought to make good use of it. But time measurement also has its playful side, and with this in mind, we searched through our storeroom for some objects that express this lighter aspect.

In the course of our search, all manner of astounding and delightful items came to light, which we presented in the form of a small exhibition within the framework of the “Museum of the Month” programme organised by the Association of Zurich Museums. This exhibition, entitled “Curios from Storeroom and Museum”, included imaginatively shaped housings, fancifully designed clock faces, various time-keeping objects, and clocks and watches that do more than just tell the time.
