Hollywood Dream Machines
The Comic-Con Museum team has been helping the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles create a major new exhibition. "Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy" will use props, design drawings, and vehicles to bring pop culture’s visions of dystopian, utopian, and science fiction worlds to life. The exhibit is due to open in May, but look out for a sneak preview at the Museum's WonderCon booth, March 29-31.
