There's a decent amount of exhibits about clock, clock mechanisms, and clock towers, but there's very little information. More weight is put on moody displays with backlighting and lots of dark rooms. The stairs cab be difficult to climb as they're narrow and badly lit. View from the top of the tower is okay but nothing to write home about. I'd say the tower at the city hall and St. Mary's church are definitely nicer. So, worth a visit if you're really into clocks, but otherwise not necessarily a main attraction.

Wejście w miarę dobrej cenie. Samo muzeum posiada 3 piętra oraz wejście na punkt widokowy. Klimat cudowny.

I absolutely LOVE going up into clock towers, but it's the narrow stairs with cross-traffic that is hard to do. This place actually has one-way traffic like the road, which is awesome. The opening is just outside of the church and is easily missed if you're not looking - think small opening only. It's only b/c I was super curious when I saw the spiral staircase 😍.
