Pacific Pinball Museum, Pinball museum in Alameda, United States.
The Pacific Pinball Museum contains over 90 machines from different decades arranged chronologically across five exhibition rooms displaying gaming evolution.
Founded in 2004 by Michael Schiess, the museum started with thirty-six machines, fourteen of which were installed in a parking lot called Lucky Ju Ju.
The museum features hand-painted murals interpreting classic pinball artwork, vintage jukeboxes, and displays highlighting the connection between games and society.
