Overview

The Petersen Automotive Museum on Museum Row along Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile is one of the world’s great car museums, founded in 1994 by publisher Robert Petersen and renovated in 2015 with a dramatic ribbon-like stainless-steel façade. Its three floors display more than 250 vehicles, from historic cars to Hollywood movie cars and supercars, plus the Vault, a guided tour of the private collection.
