The Water Clock, also known as The Giant Water Clock, is in the permanent collection of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The modern water clock is located in the Sunburst Atrium of The Children's Museum, and is adjacent to the Grand Staircase leading up to the second floor.[1] It was created by French scientist and artist Bernard Gitton in 1988, the same year that the museum acquired it.[2]

The 26.5-foot (8.1 m) artistic timepiece is the largest water clock in North America.[3]
