@visitalbuquerque: More than neon and nostalgia, a new exhibition takes the wheel on Albuquerque's Route 66, with local perspectives in the driver's seat.   "The Other Route 66" is the Albuquerque Museum's answer to the question posed by the Route 66 Centennial: where have we been and where are we going?   Curated by Dr. Alicia Romero, the exhibition showcases objects, ephemera and artworks regarding 18 miles and 100 years of Albuquerque's Central Avenue (Route 66). Tracing the route's early days with Fred Harvey's Alvarado Hotel, Victor H. Green's guide for Black motorists, Albuquerque's commercial boom, to Nob Hill's LGBTQ+ history and Downtown's lowriding culture, "The Other Route 66" is a nuanced reflection on America's most famous highway.   Plus, don't miss a family-friendly activity at the end of the exhibition by Friends of the Orphan Signs, where you can reimagine Route 66 neon signs in your vision.   "The Other Route 66" is on view through January 3, 2027 at the Albuquerque Museum. #route66 #VisitABQ #Route66Centennial
