Beverly Hills, United States of America
Petersen Automotive Museum

You will definitely find it hard to leave this place after just one visit.

Founded in 1994 by Robert E. Petersen and his wife Margie, this museum houses their collection of cars over the years. Long steel ribbons adorn the Ferrari-red exterior, wrapping themselves around the building to resemble the speed of automobiles.


Over 100 cars are found in the 25 galleries here, from those belonging to the industrial revolution, to aesthetic-looking automobiles, you will be spoilt for choice as you pick your favourite. Start from the top floor where you will be introduced to cars such as a 1956 Jaguar XKSS! Formerly-owned by famous actor Steve McQueen, I’m sure you’d like to lay your eyes on that beauty. Continue moving to the next floor, hosting cars in the theme of industry. Maseratis and their handcrafted parts, James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 and even Lightning McQueen from the Pixar movie “Cars”! Covering a wide range, both children and adults can hop on for a simulation of being in a race car and Lightning McQueen. Look out for automobiles found in famous shows or movies. The unique, fully-equipped Batmobile used by Batman is right here! Alongside a one of its kind 1965 Hydrogen Shelby Cobra, built by a NASA engineer James Heffel and Carroll Shelby.
