We will be visiting two of the city's most iconic cultural landmarks - the Petersen Automotive Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). This is a perfect outing for photographers of all styles - from automotive enthusiasts and architecture lovers to those inspired by fine art, design, and street photography.

Both museums require paid admission - see their websites for details (also mentioned below)

Stop 1 - We will meet at the entrance to the Petersen Automotive Museum at 10:00 a.m. The Petersen Museum offers incredible opportunities to photograph classic cars, futuristic prototypes and beautifully curated exhibitions. The architecture of the building itself, with its striking stainless steel facade, is a work of art, and a great subject for abstract compositions.

• Tickets for the Petersen Museum (excluding the Vault) are $21.00 ($19.00 for 62+). 
• Photo tips: Reflections, detail shots, low-light interiors and wide-angle views of exhibits

Stop 2 - LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art)  - After lunch, we will head across the street to explore LACMA. Great architecture, outdoor features and both contemporary and classic installations will give us numerous subjects to capture. 

Time: Approximately 1:00 p.m.
