  • Bullock Museum: Carros Y Cultura Museum Exhibit

    Carros y Cultura showcases the vibrant legacy of lowriding in Texas, highlighting the deep-rooted connection between community, creativity, and culture. The exhibition at the Bullock Texas State History Museum offers an immersive experience into the world of lowriders, featuring cars and bikes that epitomize this iconic art form. Visitors can explore a uniquely designed interactive touchscreen mural, dive into engaging media pieces, and listen to personal stories from individuals who propel the lowrider culture forward.

    This presentation not only celebrates the aesthetic brilliance of these custom vehicles but also honors the people behind them. Originating in the Mexican American communities of the 1940s, lowriding has evolved into a celebrated cultural phenomenon, symbolizing identity through artistic expression. The exhibition emphasizes the familial and communal bonds forged through the shared passion for lowriding, illustrating how these connections have sustained and enriched the culture across generations. Visitors can discover a legacy of innovation and unity, maintained by the enduring spirit of Texas lowriding families.
