On our second full day Walt and Hazel took us to the Nethercutt Museums in Sylmar, California, where Hazel had arranged a guided tour. The museums house the extensive Nethercutt collections of automobiles, music machines, and many other items, gathered and restored with funds from their successful and ongoing cosmetics business. The music machines are mainly orchestral size, plus a... More

I am an old cars lover, the museum is free of charge. The car collection is extensive and varied with wonderful labeling. I had never heard of many of the old makes and models. I did enjoyed the collection of old hood ornaments.

We're fans of the National History Museum in Reno. We love looking at vintage cars. And we've passed this place hundreds of times on our way to the freeway or Granada Hills. It is an incredible find. Antique cars--for free. Additional tours must be booked in advance, but even the main show room is worth a 90 minute visit. What... More

This museum is amazing and I really like the whole place. One one side of the street they have an amazing car collection and a steam locomotive. On the other side of the street in a multi-story building they have large collectable organs and many other items. This museum is worth going out of your way for!

First, this is truly a treasured jewel, that needs more exposure - to share with others whom appreciate a piece of history. The complimentary museum and tour were impressive, and educationally entertaining! Definitely make a reservation online for the complimentary 2 hour tour. Arrive 1 hour prior to the tour to peruse and enjoy the main vintage and classical car... More

This was an awesome museum that I would highly recommend for Anyone even remotely interested in automobiles. There are many cars, a fire truck, a camper from the 30's, and much more. It was close to out hotel and we almost missed it. No admission fee which makes it even better, even though it would be a value at any... More

This is a hidden jewel! Call ahead to get in on the tour, young noisy kids are not allowed (well mannered ones may be able to tag along). Gorgeous replicated old show room with cars to match. Such beauty and the tour also includes a collection of music machines that is very enjoying. If you don't want to do the... More

I've been to the Nethercutt museum countless times, and bring all my out of town company to see these amazing treasures. Once the private collection of the owners of Merle Norman Cosmetics, the Nethercutts opened their collection to the world, with no charge to the public. I see that most of the reviews mention the classic cars, but if you're... More

Do not hestitate to take the effort, make a reservation (a must!) and drive out of your way to this wonderful museum full of beautiful classic cars and self-playing old European musical instruments! Plus there are many other beautiful collections, such a Fabrege eggs and other collectibles to be seen. You don't need a reservation to see the car museum... More
