'Wanderlust' exhibit brings travel images to Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman
"Wanderlust: Travel and American Photography,” opening Friday at Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Norman, Oklahoma, explores the role American highways and interstates played in the migratory desires of the American people.
NORMAN — America's fascination with travel is examined in "Wanderlust: Travel and American Photography,” an exhibit that will open Friday at Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
"Wanderlust” explores the role American highways and interstates played in the migratory desires of the American people. Thanks to the establishment of the Lincoln Highway Association in 1913 and the 1925 Federal Aid Highway Act, more than 200 roads were created, standardized and designated. Among the new roads were Route 1, which ran from Fort Kent, Maine, to Key West, Fla., and Route 66, which passed through Oklahoma on its way from Chicago to Los Angeles. "Since the early 20th century, travel has been an important part of the American experience, especially the sightseeing trips synonymous with summer vacations,” curator Mark White said.
