Obscura Day SF: Field Trip to Musee Mecanique & Tombstones of Aquatic Park

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Atlas Obscura for an afternoon excursion to the amazing Musee Mecanique for an afternoon of creepy wind-up fortune tellers, prisoner-made toothpick automata, and naughty peep shows of yesteryear. Proprietor Dan Zelinsky will be on hand to tell stories and answer questions about the contraptions.

When all the quarters run out, we’ll head down to Aquatic Park for afternoon snacks on the terraces made of discarded Gold Rush era tombstones.

• Details: Musee Mecanique: Noon-2pm, Aquatic Park 2:30 pm. Meet us at the entrance to the Musee at noon.
• RSVP here: http://obscuraday-sf.eventbrite.com/
• Cost: Free, but bring quarters for the machines
