We did a bit of research and here are 14 of the most famous and beautiful works of art featuring clocks and timepieces in the world.

There’s a lot to see at the new Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. We’re sharing what we saw on our first visit after the museum reopened in fall 2019 after a major expansion, one exhibit at a time. After seeing Betye Saar: The Legends of Black Girl’s Window, we discovered an enchanted electric rain forest of sound – a cool and playful installation at the new MoMA – David Tudor’s Rainforest V (variation 1).

Have. To. See. Them. We did, and here’s our report.
