Museum installed in the Granvelle Palace, paying tribute to the history and tradition of watchmaking in Besançon.
A journey through history and time! Housed in the Granvelle Palace, a superb Renaissance building, the museum pays tribute to the history and tradition of watchmaking in Besançon. As you walk through the three floors of the palace, you will discover rich and varied collections, from the sundial to the atomic clock, and including tapestries on the history of Charles V. After admiring Foucault's pendulum, which demonstrates that the earth rotates, the visit ends with the palace tower, which offers a superb view of the city's rooftops.

Les expositions sont intéressantes et variées, mélangeant art et culture horlogère.
Ne pas manquer de voir le pendule de Foucault et de constater le décalage dû à la situation géographique de son emplacement.
Bonne visite !
