Welcome To AU Museum
The 3-storey Bell-Cum-Clock Tower houses a museum. One of the university’s valuables kept here is a Golden Crown used in the Crowning Ceremony of the Mother of Christ at the Seat of Wisdom every August 15 of each year, which is Assumption Day. The clock ticks every fifteen minutes and every hour the bell rings a song. It is designed to ring more than 200 songs. At the base of the tower is an enormous flight of steps redolent of the Victor Emmanuel Monument in Rome.
