Provo is home to a free outdoor museum called the Petroliana Museum. This museum is unique because it is a display of old signs, an antique gas stations and gas pumps. There is also an old airplane on display over the storage units.
The Petroliana Museum in Provo is located at AAA Lakeside Storage. There are a few parking spots on the outside and a gate you can walk into. We called in order to be let in since we were there on a holiday, and the storage unit area was closed. See their website for current hours.
It is easy to visit because all of the signs and antique items are right by the road. We walked along and admired the unique display. It is impressive that they have collected so many old items for the outdoor museum. We also enjoyed the old vehicles.
The P-51 Mustang airplane hangs over the storage units. There are a lot of great places to take photos. If you want to do a professional photo shoot, they do charge a fee and require a reservation.
It is Free to walk through the outside displays at the Petroliana Museum. The hours for the outdoor space are Monday – Saturday from 9:00am – 6:00pm. They just added a new indoor museum, and it looks like there is a small fee to visit. You can visit this website for more information.
