Welcome to
Musée MécaniqueThe Zelinsky Collectionfamily-owned since 1933 |
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 Mécanique is Harvey Fierstein's Favorite Place in San Francisco!
