Members are invited to view Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike before the exhibition opens to the public. Enjoy snacks and a cash bar in our Great Hall. When you arrive, please check in at the Visitors Services desk.
Gear up to see a cast iron velocipede designed in the mid-1800s, a 1901 Wolff-American Ice Bicycle engineered to traverse a frozen course, a seafoam green 1950s Huffy Radiobike designed so riders could cruise to their tunes of choice, and Pee-Wee Herman’s customized 1953 Schwinn DX Cruiser starring in Tim Burton’s 1985 film, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. These are just a few of the highlights waiting for you to discover in Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike, an exhibition featuring the bicycle as a way to explore intersections of history, popular culture, design, and modern and contemporary art.
