Tlalpan Time Museum

Clocks, radios, and objects that turn time into an emotional experience

AREA

What Makes It Special?

This unique museum houses one of the most comprehensive private collections of antique clocks in Latin America. More than just a museum, it is a sensory experience where time can be heard, seen, and felt through phonographs, tube radios, cameras, and objects from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Did You Know…?

The museum was founded by Horacio Espinosa in his own home, and every item on display works—from gramophones to cuckoo clocks. What’s more, the tour is led by him or a family member, making it an intimate experience full of fascinating stories.

Don’t Miss

Be sure to arrive on time for the guided tour: not only will you see some incredibly rare items, but you’ll also get to hear music played on carbon discs, listen to working Westminster clocks, and learn about the early days of radio in Mexico.
