We, in Helsinki City Museum, have oppened 1996 an exhibition called "TIME". It 
is not focusing to the clocks etc. but to the city history trough the concept of 
time. For ex. in Finnish the two most common nouns are "time" and "year" and in 
English "man" and "time". If you want to hear more about the exhibition, please 
let me know. We do have an exhibition catalogue and a video about "TIME"(in 
English). You can also find a critic "Time and again" written by Hildi Hawkins 
in the journal "things 5 / winter 1996-7".

I would also be interested to know if any of you are planning
