The National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of American 
History are collaborating on an exhibition on the history and continued 
importance of time in navigation. The basic message: if you want to know 
precisely where you are, you need an accurate clock. The exhibition will cover 
the history of timekeeping and its relationship to navigation on the sea and the 
land and in the air and in space, from the invention of the chronometer to 
atomic clocks and GPS.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any particularly well done exhibitions on 
this subject that are currently on view.
