We have a satellite exhibit at the Oxnard Downtown Management District Office on B st. across from the movie theater. The display in the window and office floor of vintage bicycles from Mark Llewellyn's collection are making people stop every day to ask where the bikes are from, and where is the Murphy Auto Museum. The exhibit is sponsored by Leon's Transmissions, and is part of the Art Beat program every 2nd Saturday of each month that feature "Art" at different venues downtown Oxnard. Have a great April and May!
