HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE CELEBRATED THE OPENING OF THE GROUNDBREAKING DISPLAY WITH A BIG BLOCK PARTY IN SACRAMENTO.

A new exhibit at the California Museum is showing off the history of lowrider culture, and hundreds of people say it’s about time Sacramento shines a light on a way of life that has had positive contributions to the Golden State. This is a national movement, and even a museum at the Smithsonian is featuring its own lowrider exhibit using some cars from Sacramento and Stockton. When the California Museum heard about that exhibit, they rushed to get this display up and running in Sacramento — but it took the help of a lot of volunteers to get it done. The exhibit runs until April 14. The Sacramento History Museum also has its own exhibit highlighting lowriding in the Capitol City.
