Last weekend I stopped into Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Hills, MI. I first heard of this mesmerizing monstrosity on one of my favorite websites: roadsideamerica.com. This was not my first visit to Marvin's, but I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing the place! Considering that I live in northeast Ohio, I don't get many opportunities to go, but when I do find myself in the area, I think I'll always be tempted to pop in for a visit. If you have a magnetism for magical mayhem and mysterious machines I highly recommend Marvin's if you're ever in Michigan.

Every inch of Marvins Marvelous Mechanical Museum's 5500 square feet of floor space with 40 foot ceilings containing an array of buzzing and clattering new and vintage mechanical devices and oddities. Overhead dangle signs, animatronic dummies, over 50 airplane models gliding along a steel rail, vintage fans of all types, and classic sideshow posters. Marvin himself travels the world looking for odd coin operated devices, both new and old. Some of his machines are custom made just for him, and can not be seen in operation anywhere else. Marvin's is also listed in the World Almanac's 100 most unusual museums in the U.S.
