Look at this article

Museums, automobiles, I’ve visited dozens in the four corners of North America. And I can now add the Petersen’s on this list.

I burned with impatience to visit because I had heard praise about it.

During my passage at the beginning of the month of December last, the museum had a few exhibitions : spotlight on the culture of low-rider, 70 years of Ferrari, the most beautiful Bugatti, cars of the small and big screen, a tribute to Dan Gurney, etc

Overall, this museum shines more by the quality than the quantity. And it is correct as well.

What I have particularly enjoyed the museum, it is that it was a… museum. Most of the museums cars that I’ve visited is sort of a big warehouse in which we had aligned the collectable cars behind a security tape. It is true that sometimes, one does what one can with what one a.

But in the case of Petersen, it was a far cry from all that. Many of them had an individual platform, putting we cannot value the car except on the last.

The museum Petersen is so well laid out that it would be downright able to replace the cars by great paintings.

Now, the photos!
