Clock Tower Museum, Museum in a clock tower near Al-Haram Mosque, Mecca, Saudi Arabia
The Clock Tower Museum spans four floors and contains exhibits about the universe, celestial bodies, and various timekeeping methods throughout human civilization.
The museum, inaugurated in 2012, stands within the third tallest building worldwide at 601 meters, after Shanghai Tower and Burj Khalifa.
