Big things are happening at the Cal Auto Museum—tiny, tiny big things. It’s a new exhibit called Pint Sized, featuring street-legal cars that are positively petite. Over the years, cars have grown in size, but this exhibit harkens to a simpler, miniature time. Almost all of the cars in the show come from local owners offering to share their little slices of automotive heaven with museum-goers. To celebrate the show, this opening night mixes microcars with microbrews, inviting local breweries to share tastings of their wares to pair with car flair, along with ample food samples. Join in the fun to celebrate some of the cutest modes of transportation around—aside from kitten-drawn carriages, of course. 2200 Front Street, calautomuseum.org/pintsized.
