They even have a decimal clock dated from the French revolution: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. Total of 100k seconds/day, making seconds a bit shorter. Was largely ignored, only lasted a few years. The computer section has a ZX81, a ZX Spectrum, an Oric Atmos, and a Commodore 64 on display if memory serves me right. All my childhood computers, feels weird seeing them in a museum. My kids were amazed by the first calculators made of paper and cardboard.
