The Petersen Automotive Museum had its largest opening to date with the simultaneous launch of four new exhibitions that opened this month and look at a range of automotive innovations, from super cars to concept vehicles to self-driving cars and electric rides . “This is a really big deal that we have four exhibitions opening at the same time,” said Autumn Nyiri, one of the two curators of the exhibitions. “They are all looking at various aspects of automotive history from design to propulsion to the future,” she added.
