The “Route 66: Radiance, Rust and Revival on the Mother Road” show at the Albuquerque Museum ends in about 10 days.

If you are unable to see it, this well-produced and remarkably comprehensive video from the city’s television channel may suffice:

The show’s curator said something notable, which is quoted here without irony:

“You can see how things like signage have deteriorated, how buildings have disappeared. … You get a real sense that Route 66 has the potential to disappear in our lifetime if we don’t honor it and preserve it.”
