Art of Bugatti Exhibition Opens at Petersen Museum

The Petersen Automotive Museum’s “The Art of Bugatti” opened October 23rd and features one of the rarest gatherings of Bugatti automobiles in history. The exhibit also includes works of art by the Bugatti family including sculpture, furniture, paintings and more. The display is located in the Mullin Grand Salon on the museum’s first floor and will run through the fall of 2017.

“The work of the Bugatti family has become a great passion of mine over the years,” said Peter Mullin, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Petersen Automotive Museum.”They are one of the greatest art dynasties of the 20th century and yet many people are only familiar with their automotive works. The purpose of this exhibit is to help the public see how four generations of one family have been creating beauty in different ways – furniture, sculpture, paintings, writings and automobiles. The mediums differ but their passion and aesthetic is constant.”
