The Clock Gallery in the Santa Barbara Courthouse features the inner workings of a Seth Thomas Tower Clock built in 1929, an interpretive mural depicting the history of time keeping from ancient days to modern times, and custom electronics measuring the accuracy of the pendulum’s swing, triggering the sounding of bells, illuminating the twinkling of overhead stars and making possible the viewing of an explanatory video.
