A museum in Michigan which is dedicated to displaying a variety of animatronics and other coin-operated machines. It was originally owned by the late Marvin Yagoda, until he died just after New Year's of 2017, when ownership was transferred to his son, Jeremy Yagoda. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum was forced to shut down temporarily, until Michigan reaches Phase 5 of containment, and was faced with financial trouble due to maintenance on the machines, but thanks to a GoFundMe, they were able to remain afloat. Though Marvin died in 2017, he is attributed with the quotations "Wouldn’t the world be better off if we took nonsense more seriously?", and "Don’t use time or words carelessly; neither can be retrieved".
Furthermore, the "fabloo" band known as "Tally Hall" created an album named after Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, and Marvin himself appeared in an episode of the Tally Hall internet show

Get the musubi mug.The City Museum, located in St. Louis, Missouri, opened in 1997 and is housed in the former International Shoe building.
As far as exhibits go, the museum boasts a "eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel." They are all made of recycled industrial materials and visitors of all ages are encouraged to feel, touch, climb on, and play in the various exhibits including but not limited to a skateless skatepark, the enchanted caves, shoelace factory, and world aquarium. The museum consists of 4 floors, the roof, and the outdoor "MonstroCity," a large outdoor playground including a large ballpit with rubber dodgeballs that even adults can play in. Beneath MonstroCity is Cabin Inn, originally the home of Daniel Boone's son and is now a bar and entertainment venue.
The museum attracted over 300,000 visitors in 1999 and over 600,000 in 2007. It has been named one of the "great public spaces" by the Project for Public Spaces and has won other local and international awards as a must-see destination.

Get the muslum mug.When monitoring effects of psychotropic substances, a commonly used term for a level that produces a just perceptible effect is "museum level." This is a slightly-over-threshold level which allows public activities (such as viewing paintings in a museum or scenery watching as a passenger in a car) to be entered into without attracting attention.
Person 1: Are you getting the fear? think we better turn back home..
Person 2: No not yet.. Im still cruising on museum level :)

Get the museum level mug.A derogatory term used to describe a very promiscuous and barren woman who is often beyond her years and tries to dress and act much younger than she really is. Will likely attempt to copulate with school boys in high school or college, playing on naivety to make her move, due to her lack of ability to attract a mate more her age, and hopelessly believing that a younger males more potent semen will provide the answer to her inability to conceive.
Man, you better watch out for that teacher, she's a serious crippled egg museum. Don't think you're hot shit just cause she's flirting with you, she does it everywhere she goes, she's desperate for a kid and is too messed up for anyone her own age in their right mind to get involved with.
