I'm a huge fan of Musee, so I'm always psyched to see them get more attention! I took some wannabe artsy photos the last time I went for a visit if anyone here wants to take a virtual tour -- http://flickr.com/photos/bonniegrrl/sets/804765/ Thanks for posting this!

Its new location at Fisherman's Wharf makes it very accessible for those doing other "touristy" things in the area. @ Bonnie: Great pics! Unfortunately, my favorite exhibit is missing from your photoset: the baseball game with the mechanical pitcher, "bat", and umpire that calls balls and strikes by lifting his left or right arm. I'll search through my photos and see what I can upload to flickr. For those who haven’t been, and are planning to be a tourist in S.F. sometime soon, the Mechanical Museum is a must.

I'm a huge fan of Doug and his business-partners Carl and Jim's work. I'm thrilled you guys have hooked up for this project -- I'm a fan of OpenRoad.tv and think their penchant for finding, discovering and sharing their respect of incredible places is very similar to your directory of wonderful thing.

This Canadian park sells a 1 hr. version http://www.crystalbeachpark.net/ They also claim each Sal had a different laugh track.... I think I saw that the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk also sells them.

Turns out that the Musée Mécanique sells CDs with recordings of the machines too. I'll have to invest in good headphones. : ) @Mr.Pants. Thanks for that link!
