The California Auto Museum, in downtown Sacramento, is boasting its Micro Car exhibit for the first time in seven years with what looks like double the micro cars on display! They were even hosting a clever Micro Cars and Micro Brews event the evening we visited. The museum underwent a refresh a few years back and I am happy to see it is alive and well.
The museum typically has a roaming exhibit (Micro Cars in this case), a race car exhibit, muscle car area, historical vehicles, and an area with cars on consignment (to help fund the museum itself and to hopefully fund some heat/air conditioning.)
It is also fun to see the addition of an area for children with several auto related activities which was a bonus for my little boy. Zoom. Zoom.
Some great street art on the front garage doors of the museum
Name the car!
Who is this cute little guy standing in front of the street art?
This yellow taxi is probably my favorite micro car
I’ve always been drawn to the numbers on the side of race cars be them big or micro
Interesting badge and interesting plate
I love everything about this little car including it’s history of apparantly saving the BMW car company!
Who wouldnt want to go rally in this little guy?
Go # 68!
What could be dangerous about this vehicle?
Fast fast fast
Cute little display
Not a fan of this car or the hood art but I would venture to guess some folks might disagree with me
How is this possibly in a museum? I am getting old enough that random stuff like this is history!
Transformer?
Oh yah. This is a beautiful machine.
Another cute little display with a car to match.
The museum did a fine job of incorporating displays, vehicles, and a childrens area to encourage parents and children to come and visit! Kudos. Start them young!

Your little one is very cute. I’m sure that he enjoyed the car exhibit. When one of my baby cousins was around two or three he had a fascination with Thomas the Tank Engine. When my Dad was alive he went to the New York City car show every year.
Here’s a mini police car and Yes right after I took the photo two tall young strapping police officers got into this car. I wonder if they were comfortable. Fortunately the NYPD mostly has normal size police vehicles.

Love it! Yes my little guy is in to trains and garbage trucks right now. It’s a big deal if we see one out on the road or on the tracks!

Love the tiny police car! How convenient that would be but perhaps not for a couple of big guys

What a great place to take your son. I know mine would have been in his element when was young and even now he’s grown with kids of his own.

What a FUN museum! I love those crazy cars, and what great photography to show them off. Of course I always am drawn to the wall art. Were these garage doors inside the museum, or part of it?

They were on the outside. Working doors to get their collection in and out. They are a cool addition! Thanks!

Wonderful. The Transformer is one of my favourites.
Now for you guys, ca, fans as you are, this must have been a treat.
And I like the fact that the little guy (Unnoticed) is being trained for museums. 😉
Great.

He goes with me everywhere and seems to enjoy it even though he doesn’t realize he isn’t at a playground.
