If things go according to plans the Oceanside, California based California Surf Museum may move into an empty strip club near the Oceanside Pier.
The museum would nearly triple its space if it moves from its 2,000-square-foot home at 223 N. Coast Highway into the defunct Play Girl Club a half block away at 312-314 Pier View Way. . . The museum’s permanent collection numbers more than 2,000 pieces, with 125 surfboards that can’t be displayed at once because of lack of room. Stuffed into the small space are exhibits depicting the evolution of surfboards, the history of surfing and its distinctive place in the Southern California culture. About 20,000 visitors, including 1,000 students, tour the museum annually.
Wonder if they’ll bring back any of the former employees as docents?
