The Przypkowski Clock Museum in Jędrzejów was established in 1962 after the Przypkowski family donated their collections accumulated over several generations to the state. One of the world's largest collections of sundials and astronomical instruments attracts more than just astronomy enthusiasts. It covers almost all types of sundials used from the 16th century to the present. Gnomonic instruments, hourglasses, candle clocks and mechanical clocks are also on display.
The exhibition rooms were set up in historic tenement houses, one of which belonged to the Przypkowskis, and the other was purchased for the museum. Visitors can now see the family's former flat from the early 20th century, full of memorabilia – the doctor's surgery of Feliks Przypkowski, a physician by profession and an astronomer and gnomonist by avocation, the collection's founder; then the living room, library, dining room, bedroom and kitchen. The second building housed an exhibition of sundials and provided interiors styled as palace suites. Antique furniture and artistic handicrafts from the 16th to 19th centuries are exhibited here. The cellars contain objects related to gastronomy; their collection owes much to Tadeusz Przypkowski's culinary interests. The storage rooms house many additional collections, including a large collection of prints and bookplates, Legion memorabilia, and Judaica – several dozen objects related to Jewish culture. These are not only objects for religious ceremonies but also for everyday use. Recently restored, the Garden of Time is surrounded by walls decorated with zodiac signs and mysterious symbols. Various types of sundials have been placed among flowers and medicinal herbs by the historic 18th-century gazebo and water steps.
