Exhibits begin with "The World’s Largest Curio Cabinet," home of special treasures collected from along the route. An audio tour written and narrated by Michael Wallis, author of Route 66: The Mother Road, will guide visitors through six decades of Route 66 history. Along the way visitors see vehicles and listen to music while they experience the history and culture of each decade concerning road construction, transportation, lodging, restaurants, garages, curio shops, attractions, and other artifacts, graphics, and videos. At the end of their trip down the "Main Street of America," visitors catch their breath in the drive-in theater, before stopping in the "Curio" gift shop with its wide selection of signs, books, videos, clothing, toys, games and numerous other mementos of Route 66 and the Museum.
