Robert Ross and Terry Karges begin their conversation by discussing the history of the Petersen Automotive Museum (1:26), the incredible people whose collective vision changed the museum to its present iconic build (5:40), and the museum's incredible collection (7:31). Then the two men turn their attention toward 'The Vault' (10:40) and then the process that led them to the museum's redesign (15:00). After a quick break, Terry digs into what it takes to be a curator at the Petersen (18:48), their remote studio for Art Center (20:38), and how the museum is making strides to engage younger car enthusiasts (23:18). Then Robert asks Terry how the public can access the wealth of information at the Museum during quarantine (28:05). They wrap things up by talking about Terry's own story with cars (32:10) and what three cars he still wants in his garage (38:27).
