The Mullin Automotive Museum, located in Oxnard, California, announced that it plans to close its doors on February 10.
The decision was made in light of the passing of Peter Mullin, who, along with his wife, Merle, opened the museum in 2010 as a way to share his passion for Art Deco design with the world.
“Sharing these ‘rolling sculptures’ and beautiful art with others was Peter’s truest passion, and the museum helped bring that vision to life,” said Merle Mullin, director of the Mullin Automotive Museum. “We are deeply indebted to our staff, docents, volunteers, visitors and supporters who have dedicated their time and passion over the past 13 years. I hope past and first-time visitors will have a chance to say goodbye before we close.”
Four cars from the collection–a 1937 Talbot-Lago T150 CS “Teardrop,” a 1938 Hispano-Suiza H6B Dubonnet Xenia, a 1939 Delahaye 165 and a 1938 Delahaye 145–have been donated to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
The Mullion Automotive Museum will continue to be open on a “limited basis” up until it closes. Visit mullinautomotivemuseum.com for more information.
