Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At the National Museum of Scotland.

The Millennium Clock Tower is over ten metres tall, shaped to suggest a cathedral spire, and containing kinetic sculpture, lights and music. It was commissioned by the director of the National Museums of Scotland in the 1990s, Mark Jones (later to be the director of the V&A), from an initial idea by the director of Glasgow Museums, Julian Spalding. It was intended to commemorate human suffering and achievement in the millennium that was about to end.

Many people worked on it, but the principal artists were: Eduard Bersudsky (carved the figures, both kinematic and still, and worked on the mechanics); sculptor and furniture-maker Tim Stead (mainly the construction of the spire); glass artist Annica Sandstrom (the clock face and the side panels); clockmaker Jurgen Tubbecke (restored the clock mechanism); theatre director Tatyana Jakovskaya (artistic director/ project coordinator), and illustrator Maggy Lenart.
