Exhibition 'Simbirsk City Clock'

About exhibition

The exhibition is dedicated to a unique relic of Simbirsk (Ulyanovsk) — the tower clock. Visitors will learn about the history of the clock's arrival in Simbirsk, see photographs of the Spaso-Ascension Cathedral where the clock was originally installed, and learn about the people who tended the mechanism. In the hall you can see the antique mechanism in operation, hear the melodious sound of the old church bell that works in tandem with the mechanism, and also watch newsreel footage depicting the ceremonial unveiling of the clock on the Goncharov House.
