Petersen Automotive Museum

The Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire Boulevard shows the history and culture of the car across three floors. Founded in 1994 by the publisher Robert E. Petersen, it was given a new façade of red and silver steel ribbons in 2015. Its rotating exhibitions cover racing cars, film cars and design, and a guided Vault tour shows more of the collection.
