Jay Leno's primary car and motorcycle collection is housed in a large, privately-owned garage complex in Burbank, California. It is not a traditional public museum. While the collection is legendary, public access is extremely limited and operates mainly through a structured appointment system for small groups, often tied to professional or media purposes. Your best chance to see his cars is through his popular YouTube series, "Jay Leno's Garage."
The Burbank facility is more of a functional garage and workshop than a static display. It's where Leno and his small team of mechanics maintain, repair, and frankly, drive the vehicles. This philosophy of "cars are meant to be driven" is central to the collection's character. The space is designed for working on machines, which is why casual public visits aren't feasible. The collection is vast, with estimates ranging from 181 vehicles to over 286 cars and motorcycles combined, including 150+ rare motorcycles.
If you're determined to see the cars in person, your only realistic option is to keep an eye on automotive events and charity auctions in the Los Angeles area. Leno occasionally brings vehicles out for special events. For the rest of us, the digital doors are always open on his YouTube channel, which offers incredibly detailed tours you'd never get on a crowded museum floor.
