NPM is a hands-on museum.
When we open in our new facility this fall visitors will
be able to experience our permanent exhibit on the history of pinball and machines
from every era on display in our main gallery. True pinball and art enthusiasts
will want return to the museum frequently to see our rotating featured exhibits
that showcase pinball artists, themes and eras, or track social or historical
trends in Pinball technology. Purchasing an Annual Pass will ensure that you
receive advance notice of all NPM events, as well as unlimited admission to the
museum for a full year.
PERMANENT "HISTORY OF PINBALL" EXHIBIT
This exhibit takes visitors on a journey from Bagatelle (the 18th Century precursor
to pinball) through to modern day computerized marvels. Along the way, visitors
will learn about the rich 140 year history of pinball, artists, and the events
and pop culture captured in machines of every era.
"how it works" exhibit
This exhibit takes visitors deep inside—under the
skin—of the
pinball machine. It includes:
- Fully interactive components that demonstrate
the behind-the-scenes action of flippers, bumpers, spinners, kick-outs and like
mechanical features.
- Explanations of schematics and diagrams
- The secrets behind the silkscreen and cabinetry
techniques that go into every pinball machine.
TRAVELING exhibitS
NPMs traveling exhibits allow children and adults who may not
be able to visit us in person to further their knowledge and appreciation of
pinball. NPM offers small and mid-sized “mini-museums on-the-go” for
exhibit at schools, organizations, businesses and other museums across the country.
These traveling exhibits educate visitors not just on the featured machines,
but also on the historical significance of the machines, artists, subjects and
eras.
Contact us for more information on traveling exhibits, including rental fees
and availability.
THE PINBALL THEATER
Visitors
can step into the theater to watch short films on the history of pinball and
related subjects.
PAY-TO-PLAY
Our Pay-to-Play Area features a constantly changing
array of games that visitors can play to hone skills, relive memories,
or just to relax and enjoy. Every visitor will want to keep coming back regularly
as we frequently rotate machines from our huge collection.
