"In much the same way a true American road trip links together national landmarks, roadside attractions, and cultural hotspots over the course of many miles, [this exhibition] weaves together a number of uniquely American themes," said curator Rachael Faillace.

Touching on everything from roadside architecture to the concept of the American Dream, 'Road Trip: My America' examines the country from a variety of sometimes contradictory perspectives.
