About the Museum:

The National Pinball Museum’s vision is to go beyond the traditional museum model to create a touch-play-learn environment that is at once educational, interactive, and exciting. 

Founded in 1998, The National Pinball Museum (NPM) preserves, maintains and promotes the heritage of pinball through exhibits and programs designed to advance the public’s knowledge and appreciation of pinball; provide youth and adults with the mechanical, electrical, technical and artistic training to fully restore and preserve pinball machines; and bring the art and the pastime of pinball the recognition it deserves.

About the Curator, David Silverman:

For a museum to succeed, it needs to begin with a strong vision, a workable plan, and a curator equipped to merge the two into a dynamic, flourishing enterprise.

As an artist and craftsman, Mr. Silverman brings an aesthetic sensibility and meticulous attention to detail that every museum must have. That underlying artisanship led to the design and implementation of a Japanese-influenced home and garden featured both in the Washington Post newspaper and on numerous Japanese television networks. His ceramic sculptures have been shown in galleries, conservatories and arboretums throughout the United States.

As a long-time teacher and lecturer, he adds strong communication skills and an ability to make information accessible and thought-provoking. Recently, Mr. Silverman presented a lecture at the Pinball Expo in Chicago, IL featuring the works of Charles Leroy Parker.
