National Museum of Scotland explores the secrets of the Millennium Clock

#Overseas Travel #British Travel #Explore the Museum When you come to the #NationalMuseumofScotland, don't miss the #MillenniumDollClock which is housed in the Grand Gallery on the first floor. When I first saw this #popularexhibition, my curiosity exploded. What special meaning does this strange and bizarre clock tower represent? 🧐🧐In order to satisfy my curiosity, I was driven to unravel the secrets and stories hidden in it, and it also attracted many tourists to watch and appreciate its operation and #take photos and check in 📸. This #popularcheck-in spot has a two-story Millennium Clock Tower that marks the passage of time. It was carefully designed by five masters in 1999. The complex and exquisitely animated building is divided into four parts: the crypt, the nave, the bell tower and the spire. Each character in the clock tower has his own story to tell and secrets to reveal. 🤓🤓 When the music of the clock tower begins to sound, you will first start to watch from the "crypt" at the bottom of the tower. The dazzling combination of wheels and chains will start to turn first. The core figures of this part are an ancient spiritual oak figure and a colorful and naughty Egyptian monkey 🐒, who seems to be working hard to push the gears. Then it was the turn of the "Novice" to hold a pendulum which began to swing slowly. Upon closer inspection, a dead skeleton figure was seen straddling a convex mirror. Behind the pendulum are distorted images of Lenin, Hitler and Stalin, reminding people not to forget the most tragic #historicalstoryofthe20thcentury🥺. One level higher is the "Bell Tower", which houses a clock and a requiem, a circle of 12 numbers that rotates with shining lights, each representing a month and 12 states of human suffering, from war to famine, from slavery to persecution, tormenting humanity with its suffering and tragedy. Finally we arrived at the spire at the top, where a woman standing upright was carrying a dead person. This is Pietà, Italian for compassion and mercy, and it symbolizes what happened in the past and the strength we need to move forward while having hope for the future. 🙂🙂 Such a carefully designed performance is truly amazing! 👏👏 #travel #travelrecommendations #travelcheck-in #popularcheck-in spots #popularattractions #must-visitcheck-in spots #check-in hotspots #famousattractions #attractions #photography spots #photographycheck-in #familytravel #goodexhibitionplaces #exhibitionhall #PopularExhibitions #Museums #MuseumRecommendations #ConsumerVoucherStrateg
