Discovering 66 exhibit opens

On Saturday, July 27, after the Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum will open a new exhibit titled Discovering 66. The exhibit will feature a collection of photographs by Rhys Martin, president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association.

Although Martin grew up in the Tulsa area, he had only given historic Route 66 a thought once he took a life-changing trip around the world. After returning to Oklahoma, he looked closer at his home state and soon discovered that the famous highway was a mirror of his experience for tens of thousands of international travelers. Multiple images of his photographic journey will be a part of the exhibit Discovering 66, which documents over 38,000 miles of Martin’s journey and how it led the photographer back home to Route 66, the most famous historic highway in the world.
