'Sacred' Exhibit at the National Watch & Clock Museum Looks at the Religious Concept of Time

There is an enticing exhibition taking place until the end of the year at the National Watch & Clock Museum. Entitled Sacred, the exhibit focuses on the symbolism and religious concepts of time. The exhibit is designed to give visitors an inside view about how various religions view the passage of time.



Time has been used for millennia as a major focus in many religions. Christians focus their feast days around different times of the year, the Islamic and Jewish community focus on the stages of the moon, while the Buddhists see time as a wheel that focuses on the movement of the sun. Similarly, many ancient religions view time differently. The Druids measured time by the solstices, the Egyptians by the stars and rise and fall of the Nile, and the Mayans and Aztecs around a solar year."

The exhibition showcases many of these views of time for both the ancient and modern civilizations. The museum, home to America's largest timekeeping collection, is located in Columbia, Pa., and has an impressive collection of watches and clocks — with revolving special exhibits such as this one.



Once you're there, don't forget to visit the ongoing "James Bond Wore the Quartz Revolution" exhibit, which showcases many of the timepieces worn by Bond stars in EON Productions movies from 1973 through 1995.
