The „Exposition of time” (CZ: Expozice casu) covers 10 rooms and is extensively broad and extends from space-time to atomic clock and modern methods of time measurement. This unique exhibition enables its visitors to explore the process of the birth of the universe and time as well as to discover the diversity of calendars and various conceptions of time in different cultures throughout centuries. It also describes the development of ancient clock and the principles of timekeeping.
The Exposition of Time does not only introduce clocks as themselves, but time as a phenomenon on the whole. It all starts in a room with the Universe, where you can construct a planetary system, touch clock models, discover how they are delayed or speeded up, the weight is wound up, etc.
Visitors can take a glance into the Universe, where time began 14 billion years ago with the Big Bang. They can test their knowledge about the Solar System by the means of an interactive game.
