“Get Your Kicks on Route 66.” So much a part of our mid 20th-century experience, the song Route 66 has been recorded by such diverse artists as Nat King Cole, The Rolling Stones and Glenn Frey. Enjoy Greetings From Route 66 as your own virtual ‘60s vacation from Chicago to L.A.—complete with illustrations of vintage postcards, brownie camera black and white’s, and advertisements for kitschy diners and motels. Our American History Museum’s America on the Move exhibit lets you walk along a portion of Route 66 pavement.  Hardcover; 240 pages; 714 color and 92 black and white photos. 9.56" x 11.2"

Museum Provenance

We know it when we see it. It’s casually rustic, earthen-hued and sun-baked. It’s often accented with turquoise—weaving its way in geometric textiles or inlaying sterling silver jewelry. These beautiful products are direct representations of the style that is curated, piece by piece, in the collections of our National Museums of the American Indian and American History.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
