The California Automobile Museum has launched a virtual museum to provide members with a remote look into its collection while the museum is closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“Virtual Memberships are a way for the public to support and enjoy the museum even though we cannot physically host them in the building,” Executive Director Mark Steigerwald said in a release. The virtual tours also provide interviews with the cars’ owners and details about their history and significance.

Some of the famous cars in the collection include the 1957 Ferrari Testarossa used in “The Art of Racing In The Rain,” the van used in the 2010 remake of “The A-Team” and the Ford Cobra replica used in “Ford vs. Ferrari”.

Memberships are available on Patreon starting at $4 a month for access to all videos posted by the museum. VIP memberships are available for $10 a month and include bonus videos and exclusive events for after the pandemic.
