The Doomsday Clock is in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.

Where the Doomsday Clock actually is

  • The physical Doomsday Clock is displayed in the lobby of the Keller Center at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.
  • The address is 1307 East 60th Street, at the offices of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the group that maintains and “sets” the clock each year.
  • It is a symbolic clock, not a mechanical countdown, and its time is updated annually to reflect global risks like nuclear war, climate change, and disruptive technologies.

You can think of it as a public warning sign: it sits in a real lobby in Chicago, but its “time to midnight” is meant to represent how close humanity is to self‑inflicted catastrophe rather than any literal doomsday schedule.
