The Mullin Automotive Museum is a privately owned automobile museum in Oxnard, California, USA. Established in 2010, it displays the personal car collection of businessman and philanthropist Peter W. Mullin.[1][2] The museum has a large collection of vintage Bugattis, and many of the cars are fully restored and able to be driven.[3]

The museum is housed in the building formerly occupied by the Chandler Vintage Museum of Transportation and Wildlife.[2] The 50,000 sq/ft building was remodeled to be more energy efficient by American architect David Randall Hertz, making use of solar panels and reflective roofing to reduce heat, yet incorporating elements that retain the Art Deco style and motifs in order to match the era of the cars, many of which were made by French manufacturers in the 1920s and 1930s.[4]
