Welcome to
Musée MécaniqueThe Zelinsky Collection |
Welcome to the Musée Mécanique, one of the world's largest (over 200) privately owned collection of coin-operated mechanical musical instruments and antique arcade machines in their original working condition. (You can play them!)
Located on Pier 45 at the foot of Taylor Street in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf.
Free Admission Every Day!
We will take you
on a journey from turn of the century hand cranked music boxes to modern video arcade
games. This is a trip down memory lane. It is a chance to show your children or grandchildren
what you did for fun when you were their age. Before video games at home, perhaps before
television, perhaps what you remember sitting in your grandparent's parlor
For those of you who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is a chance to remember Playland at the Beach, Sutro Baths and the Cliff House. There is our own "Laffing Sal", "Susie the Can-Can Dancer" and the fascinating "Carnival." Other things have been brought in from around the world for your amusement.
Musée DVD - Now Available
A 68 minute dvd video tour featuring highlights of the Musée Mécanique. The collection includes hundreds of musical and mechanical machines
that bewitch the eye with their beauty and craftsmanship. Some are over a century old, and some so cleverly restored they seem to be ageless.

Photos: Lost and Found at the Musée Mécanique
Lost and Found at the Musee Mecanique!
This amazing collection of photobooth strips from the Musee Mecanique was 35 years in the making.
Made entirely of abandoned photostrips found in and around the Musee Mecanique's coin operated photobooth (ok, there's a few of our friends in there too!),
we've compiled them in a unique format the likes of which you've never seen before. There are about 160 sets of photos (640 pictures) in each book.
p.s. YES, we still have two photobooths! Come by and try them out!
