TWO WEEKS LEFT to experience Lowrider Culture in the United States! On exhibit through Sunday, November 15   at the International Museum of Art & Science   1900 W. Nolana Ave. McAllen, TX Organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of the American Latino.

Through custom vehicles, vibrant photography, artwork, and objects, this exhibition explores the history and influence of lowriding throughout the United States. What makes this exhibition especially meaningful at IMAS is the involvement of our own Rio Grande Valley lowrider community.
