Lonely Planet review

Loudly ticking away behind the Kirche Am Hof is the municipal Uhren Museum (Clock Museum). Opened in 1921 in the Harfenhaus, one of Vienna's oldest buildings, its three floors contain an astounding 21,200 clocks and watches from the 15th century up to a 1992 computer clock. The collection Biedermeier and belle époque models are a highlight. The silence is shattered at the striking of the hour, so those with sensitive ears should avoid these times.

Unfortunately guided tours ( Thu, and Sun) are only in German.
