Located in Pier 45 at the Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, the Musee Mecanique celebrates 20th-century penny arcade games with a collection of 300 mechanical machines, artifacts, and objects relating to arcade games. Owned by and managed by Dan Zelinsky, the museum’s collection includes pinball machines, coin-operated fortune tellers, video games, player pianos, music boxes, dioramas, love testers, Mutoscopes and more, as well as many rare and historical pieces like the only steam-powered motorcycle in the world and the famously creepy, six-foot-tall laughing automaton known as Laffin Sal. Visitors can pay to play the vintage arcade games at the museum.
