A collection of Bob Dylan archives will be open to the public at the Bob Dylan Center, a new museum opening May 10, 2022 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Located in the Tulsa Arts District near the Woody Guthrie Center, the Bob Dylan Center will display over 100,000 exclusive artifacts from 60 years of Dylan’s career, including handwritten poetry manuscripts, previously unpublished recordings and screenings, rare photographs, and more. Check out the announcement below.
The museum’s opening completes the cataloging and digitization of a secret archive of Dylan’s work that was sold to the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa in 2016. The three-story Bob Dylan Center will be the main public venue for the Bob Dylan Archive and will host permanent, temporary, and traveling exhibits.
Dylan recently sold the music publishing rights to its entire catalog to Universal Music Publishing as part of a landmark deal. His last album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, came out last year.
