The Clockarium

Welcome to the Clockarium, the Museum of the Art Deco Ceramic Clock in Brussels. It specializes in the Art Deco faļence clock which was the first timepiece affordable to everyone. During the 1920s and '30s, it proudly decorated every common home in Belgium and Northern France. An unstoppable craze, this fashion gave rise in the twenties and the thirties to millions of amazing ceramic clocks, in a huge variety of shapes, styles, and decorations.
Our Belgian museum displays more than a thousand mantel clocks in a stylish Art Deco house at the entrance to Brussels. Come and discover this unique collection of popular art deco ceramics from Belgium, France and Czechoslovakia; enjoy the charming beauty and exceptional creativity of this amazing decorative art.
It will be a delightful journey in time and imagination!

Congratulations, Luc, for this excellent reportage on the Clockarium Museum. And for those who haven't visited this museum yet, here is my "unbiased" advise: run to the next guided visit (in French - every Sundays at 3:05pm sharp - except hollidays - see www.clockarium.org)! Jacques de Selliers Curator.

Nice show of clocks , you´re fortunate to live where a camera is not a criminal, in a museum, that´s what happens with me,when I have the guts to carry my camera in a portuguese museum. Nice pictures, very good light and detail, but knowing your equipment, I´m sure you have the right lens for any condition.
