The Pete has re-opened, after refurbing the exterior... Autoweek did a great job taking photos of the cars inside, and you can save yourself the trip, but it looks like the exhibits finally got a long over do cleanout. Nothing looks like it did, it look s 100 times better


A total of 100 automobiles, 23 motorcycles, four scooters, one bobsled and one full-sized Lightning McQueen are on the grid as the museum throws open its doors again on Sunday, Dec. 6 in a special $200 “Preview Day.” After that you can get in for a mere 15 bucks, a pittance compared to the $90 million spent on the renovation.

Autoweek says:
"The ribbons float around the building "evoking imagery of speed and the organic curves of a coach-built automobile,” the museum says. OMG. Love it or hate it (and the only people we've heard say they love it are on the board of the museum)

Among the new Petersen’s many opening exhibits. "Precious Metal" features 10 beautiful silver cars on silver stands in a silver room with a silver backdrop.
