 The Automobile Driving Museum

Ever have the urge to ride in a 1936 Ford Roadster? The Automobile Driving Museum is the only car museum in Southern California that takes you for a ride you’ll never forget.  

The Old Town Music Hall

Old Town Music Hall is a treasured cultural landmark located in El Segundo, California, not far from the Los Angeles International Airport. 

Since 1968, Old Town Music Hall has been showing vintage silent and sound films, and presenting live concerts by some of the world's finest performers of jazz, ragtime, and popular music from the past.

Silent films are accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer, a massive 1925 wind-powered pipe organ that has been meticulously preserved so that silent classics can be experienced with live musical accompaniment, just as they did when they were first shown. It's something you really have to see and hear to believe.

Each unique venue acts as a pop-up gallery displaying original works from over 50 Los Angeles-based artists.

The mural is comprised of 51 visually striking, colorful panels (10-foot by 32-foot each), and incorporates Van Hamersveld's signature style and iconic imagery.
