Today’s exploration of L.A.’s famed Wilshire Boulevard includes visits to two of the most iconic museums on L.A.’s renowned Museum Row, as well as an included chocolatey treat from one of L.A.’s most iconic candy shops. First, enjoy time at leisure to explore the Petersen Automotive Museum, the world-class automotive museum that raised the bar on what a car museum should be with its $90 million interior and exterior transformation. One of the largest and most diverse automotive collections in the world, the Petersen features one-of-a-kind exhibits that highlight some of the rarest cars in the world. Occupying an entire city block, the museum features an automotive legend around every corner! Step back into the radical world of the 1980s and 1990s in the museum’s newest temporary exhibit, Totally Awesome! Cars and Culture of the ’80s and ’90s. From visionary concept cars to iconic production models, legendary screen stars, and high-performance race cars, this immersive experience features more than 30 iconic vehicles alongside nostalgic pop culture artifacts like arcade games, neon fashion, and vintage electronics. This high-energy celebration of the bold designs, cutting-edge performance, and unforgettable style that defined two unforgettable decades is set against the backdrop of fashion, media, and music that defined a truly unforgettable era. Also on display for a limited time, Super/Hyper, featuring a selection of ultra-elite supercars and hypercars like the Bugatti Divo, Apollo Intesa Emozione “Purple Dragon” and Pagani Huayra BC “Macchina Volante.” This rarified group of automobiles with remarkable performance and alluring, often-audacious designs are some of the rarest exotic cars on Earth! Hollywood Customs – Modified for the Movies features ordinary cards that became cinematic legends after they were uniquely modified. See such icons as the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle, “Herbie,” the 1981 Delorean that became a time machine in Back to the Future, and a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that became “Kitt” in Knight Rider. After time at leisure for lunch on your own at the Original Farmers Market or The Grove, we’ll visit the world famous La Brea Tar Pits & Museum, Earth’s most important Ice Age fossil site where more than 3.5 million fossils have been excavated – and they’re still digging! At Project 23 we’ll see live excavations taking place – from mammoth tusks to mouse toes, fossils big and small are telling us what Los Angeles was like long ago. Step inside the historic Observation Pit and experience what it’s like to descend into an excavation pit. While it opened to the public in 1952 as the first museum in Hancock Park, it was closed for more decades in the mid-1990s. Visit the Fossil Lab, an active paleontological laboratory in the museum where you can watch as Ice Age fossils are cleaned, studied, and prepared for exhibit. Also included is Titans of the Ice Age, an exciting 3D movie adventure that takes you on a journey to a world lost in time, buried in ice, and ruled by giants. We top off the day with an included piece of handmade fudge from Littlejohn’s Candies, an L.A. landmark that has been handcrafting candy and chocolate for over 100 years! Specific vehicles on display at Petersen are subject to change within the exhibit without notice.
