Harvard Club of Santa Barbara

Visit to the Mullin Automotive Museum

Join the Harvard Club of Santa Barbara on a tour of the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, April 14, 2018.

Voted one of the top ten automotive museums in the world, the Mullin Automotive Museum is an homage to the art deco and the machine age – eras that produced exquisite art and magnificent automobiles. The museum is home to the finest Historic French automobiles from Bugatti to Voisin as well as significant and representative decorative art from the 1920s and 1930s. Many of the cars displayed have won prestigious awards at concours d’elegance throughout the world. Also on view are famous French race cars, many of them past winners of historic races such as the Grand Prix de Pau and Le Mans.
 

The HCSB has arranged for two 1.5 hour-long, docent-led tours on Saturday, April 14:  One at 10:00 a.m. and a second at 11:30 a.m.  After the tours (around 1 p.m.), we will gather informally for lunch at one of the restaurants in Oxnard's charming Heritage Square.  Note that those who come for the first tour will have some extra time to spend in the museum and gift shop before lunch.  (For those alumni unable to make it to either of these two tours, the museum does offer a third tour at 1:30 p.m., so it might be possible to join our group for a short lunch then catch this tour.)

Photography is encouraged.  However, for the protection of the cars, guests are asked to leave their purses, backpacks, selfie-sticks, mono and tripods either in their vehicles or at the museum's coat check.
