Marvelous Marvin’s Mechanical Museum

January 3, 2010

 Marvin’s is a Surrealist’s dream! Vintage carnival machines that show medical oddities, wonderous appartitions and even torture. The machines were showcased in carnivals in the early 1900′s. This museum is sandwiched between halves of a shopping mall north of Detroit in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Inside he’s packed dense masses of historical and modern arcade machines, sideshow wonders, fortune tellers, automatons, and curiosities. Marvin is a 60-something year old pharmacist, and Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum is a hobby that went out of control. Music by Igby Iris.
