Petersen Automotive Museum |
This museum offers three floors of fun and excitement for all ages. Bring the family to experience one hundred years of automotive history along side the history of Los Angeles in the "Streetscape." Wander past full-scale reproductions of scenes and buildings that mark important historical developments. The second floor has five changing galleries of Hollywood star's cars, cars that are stars, hot rods, Indy racecars, classics, customs, and automotive memorabilia. In the Discovery Center children can ride a real police motorcycle and learn about the Doppler Effect, sit on a giant engine and become a "human spark plug," and dress up for a ride in a Model T.
Group and school tours are welcome. Please call for times and admission prices.
