The Millennium Clock Tower is a ten-metre construction in wood, metal and glass.  A timepiece 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.

The Millennium clock tower is a collaboration between Eduard Bersudsky, Tim Stead, Jürgen Tübbecke, Annica Sandström.   The crypt at the base of the tower is the base of society, above this is the nave, where people live, love and die.  The belfry in the heart of the tower houses the clock, and the spire above represents man penetrating the sky to reach God, with the pieta at the top in the shape of a cross.  The clock began to chime for the first time in the Royal Museum at 12 noon on 1 January 2000.
