Musee Mecanique on ‘Faces of Life’

One of the things we did while we’re here in SF was go to Fisherman’s Wharf and visited one of the many museums they had there.

One of the interesting museums within the wharf is the Musee Mecanique.  This is called the Mechanical Museum of San Francisco and houses 300 different mechanical items ranging from pianos, slot machines among others, and yes, this grandma foretelling my future.

The kiddos which do not have any interest in anything antiquated had their fill here since it has some kind of Gothic feel although antique is the more appropriate term.  I was in awe with it since the items displayed are definitely older than me and seen by people of the past.  It’s all wonderfully playable and surpassed time in good conditions.  The beauty of old things.

The Steam Flyer (read the story here).

The owner was offered a whooping $250,000 for this one but he turned it down!

And these two interesting massages -

or a Footsie Wootsie?

  1. Hi thanks for the nice write up about the Musée! We appreciate it. I’d like you to know that we have a new official web site at http://www.museemecaniquesf.com , the one you’re linking to is neither owned nor operated by the Musée Mecanique. It would be great if you could change the link! Thanks again.
