If for no other reason, you must visit the Petersen in order to marvel at its exterior. And, if you love cars, this is your place. It's a bit of a walk (but totally doable) or a short bus ride, heading north on the 217 from Fairfax and Pickford.

It's a drive, and by LA standards, a short one, but well worth it. Even if you don't step inside to peruse the art collection, the architecture and landscaping offers a lovely afternoon of wandering. Cafeteria also serves good food.
