The Millennium Clock Tower is a ten-metre-tall kinetic sculpture in wood, metal and glass. A time piece which contains fragments of the story of the millennium, with its disasters, tragedies, but also its human scientific and artistic achievements. A creation that talks of love, hate, work, play, humour, despair, life and death. Four established makers were involved in the making of the clock tower:
Eduard Besudsky - kinetic sculpture, Tim Stead - wood constructions, Jurgen Tubbeke - clock mechanisms, Annica Sandström - clockface and glass panels.
The Millennium Clock was commissioned by the National Museum of Scotland. The East Wing galleries closed in April 2008 for major construction work and will reopen in 2011.
