Tankland Museum
I’ve been to most of the museums in Los Angeles, and my two, hands-down, favorites are the American Military Museum (aka Tankland) in South El Monte and the Museum of Jurassic Technology in West Los Angeles. Both offer truly eclectic collections that will get your imagination going, and both are in unique settings. Tankland is all outdoors. There is so much to write about this place but I’m saving it for an article I’m angling for. In the meantime, here are some pics.
My favorite tank. Cute eh? Used in the North Hollywood shootout.
The Museum will be participating in Sierre Madre’s Fourth of July parade. The city has a four-day celebration starting Saturday, June 30th, details on the link above. More pics of the Museum are here and on their site: http://hometown.aol.com/tankland/museum.htm

i like your page, found it while researching the north hollywood police shootout. i was happy to find a picture of one of the LAPD V-100 tanks. i was hoping that maybe you could email me a larger copy of that photo. it would NOT be for official use or publication, just for my own benefit to have in my many LAPD photos found online. if that’s opk with you i’d really love to have a larger copy. my email is skyfoxeleven@netscape.net thank you so much…
