With the current state of play, many museums around the world are closing for public safety. This includes the amazing Petersen Auto Museum in Los Angeles. 

The Petersen features a stunning collection of cars on multiple levels, but one of its best kept secrets is 'The Vault.' 

Hidden away in the bowels of the building is this huge garage full of classic and rare metal. 

The museum has previously offered tours, but you’re not allowed to take photos.

Having been down to 'The Vault', I can confirm it’s a fascinating place.

But for a limited time only, the museum is live streaming tours of this exclusive space, which you can watch by logging onto the website and registering.

The stream will be hosted by staff members and you also have the ability to ask questions online.

Growing up in Tasmania, car culture hardly surrounded Joel. But between Targa, the Australian Rally Championship and V8 Supercars there was enough to build Joel’s passion for all things automotive. Joel got his first big break covering the Australian Rally Championship in the mid 2000s.  His two biggest publishing accomplishments were for two publications which are no longer in print, first one photo published in Motorsport News in the mid ‘90s and then his first feature story published in Speed magazine in the mid 2000s, both from rally events.  He now combines that automotive passion every day in his photography and writing. The best car he’s owned to date was a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX, with the sound of the boxer engine and handling causing him to yearn for another.  If he had the money, he would buy a Dodge Viper from the early ‘90s. Did someone say 8.0-litre V10?
