Clockarium, Horological museum in Schaerbeek, Belgium.

The Clockarium is a museum of Art Deco faience clocks at 163 boulevard Auguste Reyers in Schaerbeek, housed in an Art Deco house built in 1935 by architect Gustave Bossuyt. Its collection of more than a thousand faience mantel clocks, the affordable timepieces that furnished Belgian and northern French homes in the 1920s and 1930s, is shown in the rooms of that house.

The Clockarium was founded in 2000 and is housed in an Art Deco house built in 1935 by the architect Gustave Bossuyt at 163, boulevard Auguste Reyers in Schaerbeek. It documents faience mantel clocks, which appeared at the start of the 20th century and became a fixture of modest homes in Belgium and Northern France between the wars.

The collection displays ceramic clocks from Belgium, France, Germany, and Czechoslovakia, showing how design trends of the Art Deco period shaped everyday home decoration. These pieces reveal what families chose to display in their living spaces during the early twentieth century.

The museum offers guided tours in French on a regular schedule, while visits conducted in English, French, or Dutch are available upon request. It helps to book ahead if you want a tour in a language other than French or prefer a private visit.

The museum opened in 2000 and holds more than a thousand faience mantel clocks, the first timepieces most Belgian and Northern French households could afford in the 1920s and 1930s. The building itself is an Art Deco house of 1935 by architect Gustave Bossuyt, at 163 boulevard Auguste Reyers.
