Exhibits

Postcards, Dreams, & Destinations on Route 66

Opening January 7 through June 19, 2027

Postcards, Dreams, & Destinations on Route 66 celebrates the Mother Road through historic Albuquerque postcards and the distinctive artwork of Route 66 artist Bob Waldmire. Curated by the Albuquerque Museum, the 1930s–1950s Albuquerque postcards showcase the city in fantasy colors, while a collection of Waldmire postcards curated by the City of Albuquerque Public Art Program captures the spirit of Route 66 from across the route through his signature black-and-white illustrations and dreamlike style.

Join the Route 66 Visitor Center for a community celebration in spring 2027, date to be announced.
