EspaceTemps was created with the primary aim of safeguarding the memory of the former Observatoire Cantonal de Neuchâtel, an institution that kept accurate time in Switzerland for over a century, and which was dismantled in 2007. EspaceTemps will eventually evolve into a museum of science and technology. The museum site is one of the Observatory's buildings, the Pavillon Hirsch, built with the bequest of the first director. Two instruments are still in place: the large telescope built by Zeiss, and a seismograph dating from 1926, built to plans by Alfred de Quervain and Auguste Piccard. The tour includes the site itself, the instruments still in place, and numerous explanatory panels. Audiovisual presentations complete the offer.
