How you help Volunteering at the Petersen is an excellent way to experience the museum, interact with visitors from around the world, and help support the community. The Museum’s Education Team seeks enthusiastic, outgoing, and dedicated people to join our team of volunteers, the Pit Crew.
About us On June 11, 1994, Margie and Robert E. Petersen fulfilled a long-time dream when they became founding benefactors to start the Petersen Automotive Museum, donating $5 million to the Los Angeles County National History Museum. Today, the Petersen Automotive Museum stands as the nation’s premiere automotive museum, serving hundred's of thousands of visitors each year. Encompassing more than 100,000 square feet, its exhibits feature more than 150 rare and classic cars, trucks and motorcycles.
