I recently saw the show too, and it contains many of the most famous dials from antiquity. It is a show of "greatest hits." To me, that was the most amazing part. Well worth seeing before it closes in April. For those who cannot make it, there is a good website. You can start here to whet your appetite, http://isaw.nyu.edu/ or more directly here, http://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/time-cosmos.

First-rate sundials and related items (such as floor mosaics depicting dials) from the ancient world brought together from museums around the world. And beautifully displayed and explained. The accompanying book (~$60) is also first-rate.
