One extraordinary collection of cars is coming to the Petersen Automotive Museum starting May 4, when the “Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy” opens at the iconic Los Angeles venue.
In all, says Petersen, around 40 iconic vehicles that have shaped movies over the past few decades will be displayed, marking the first time such a big number of automotive movie stars come together under one roof.
Alongside these cars, concept artwork, props and costumes will make for a very unique atmosphere on Wilshire Boulevard.
The exhibit is being supported by the Comic-Con Museum, Audi and Microsoft and will comprise cars that have been the real stars of their movies – from flicks like Transformers, Back to the Future and Bumblebee.
Equally exciting will be the presence on the floor of the display of cars from Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, I, Robot, Prometheus, Iron Man and a host of Batmobiles.
“’Hollywood Dream Machines’ will be the biggest exhibit of our 25th anniversary,” said in a statement Petersen Automotive Museum executive director Terry L. Karges.
“With more than 40 vehicles from the silver screen spread across the museum, the exhibit is an ode to the industry that Los Angeles was built upon. We can’t wait to explore the fantasy and fictional concepts behind these extraordinary vehicles with the world.”
To make the exhibit as interactive as possible, Microsoft will support it with a HoloLens experience called Worlds Reimagined that will put visitors behind the wheel of Warthog machines from Halo or the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
The Hollywood Dream Machines exhibit is a long-term one, as it will be open for a little less than a year, until March 15, 2020. Kicking it all off will be an opening reception on the evening of May 4 with live entertainment of unspecified type.
