Housed in the Palais Granvelle, a Renaissance building erected from 1532 to 1540 for Nicolas Perrenot de Granvelle, adviser to Charles V. Opened in 2002, it brings together one of the richest clock and watch collections in Europe, from Antide Janvier's astronomical sphere to atomic clocks, and houses a thirteen-metre Foucault pendulum.
