The Petersen Automotive Museum on Miracle Mile is one of the world's great car museums, wrapped in an unmistakable steel-ribbon facade. Its floors cover automotive history, design and Hollywood and racing legends, and the underground Vault tour reveals rare vehicles not on general display. It is car-focused, so non-enthusiasts may find a couple of hours plenty.
