This museum has an amazing collection of vehicles from every era. All the vehicles have personalized license plates. I just loved a license plate on a really old car - "I'm old" was a reall "aw" moment for me. There is a lovely stair case with carpeting in a keyboard pattern with the notes to "Stairway to the Stars." The... More

What a great museum! I can't believe that it was free to get in and also for the tour. I highly recommend making a reservation to take the tour otherwise you will miss seeing some beautiful things in the other building. Even if you are not into vintage vehicles it is still impressive to see this collection. More

We found multiple ‘collections’ as a surprise. After starting in the main building with a great collection of antique cars we found another tour was available: They have restored an antique train car with locomotive in the back of the building. The craftsmanship and care given was very obvious. If you plan ahead you can make reservations to take a... More

The obnoxious guides, make and female spent the entire tour snapping over and ovet that no one should touch anythIng. No one was. Enormous crowd to see very few items. Treated like sheep. If you want to see great cars go to the Petersen. More

Seeing the collections owned by the Nethercutt family (related to the founders of Merle Norman cosmetics) is very impressive. The main highlights are classic cars, all of which are drivable according to the guide (you can only visit if you take a tour). Musical instruments are also quite impressive. Worth a visit if you enjoy collections, or are in the... More

There is no charge for this 2 hour tour. The collection of cars is alone worth the drive in the rain and snow over the grapevine. The tall building houses such amazing things - clocks, organs, cars, hood ornaments, and so much more. It has yummy carpet and gorgeous mirrors and chandeliers. The bathroom is even a showpiece. It is... More

You need a full day and good shoes. The third floor is the best, the theater organ display and the mechanical music makers are a show in themselves. More
