How to put an exhibition together @ The Petersen Automotive Museum

Every now and then we get asked "How does an exhibition come about"?
In the Summer of 2023 as there "We are Porsche" exhibition was coming to an end to pave way to three new ones we decided to documented and interview few of the key people involved in the making of an exhibition at The Petersen Automotive Museum.

Waymo - Driven by possibility was a particularly challenging and yet rewarding one we were lucky to capture in July 2024.

Of course this is not a comprehensive guide, many people from the Marketing, to the Membership to the Educational and ultimately to the Curatorial Department are involved and hopefully we will be able to bring you more behind the scenes in the future.

In this video you will find interviews with:
Bryan Steven - Director of Exhibitions
Alexander Yust - Exhibit Developer
Steven Kosek - Exhibit Preparator
Brittanie Kinch - Product Director - The Scenic Route
David Sanchez - Collection Preservation Supervisor
Steven Milner - Tour Guide
