The Petaluma Library and Museum has opened its latest exhibit.    Titled “Celebrating 50 Years of American Graffiti” the exhibit will run through September 3rd.  The exhibit is curated by Solange Russell and researched largely by Terry Park who has become an expert on the making of “American Graffiti” which turns 50 this year.  The exhibit is composed mainly of archival photos and memorabilia from the collection of past museum president Susan Villa.  It explores and exalts the making of the movie as well as Petaluma’s robust car culture.
