Uncover the Artistry of Bob Dylan
The Bob Dylan Center serves to educate, motivate and inspire visitors to tap into their capacity as creators. The center is anchored by the Bob Dylan Archives, which were acquired by GKFF in 2016.
The permanent exhibit highlights the unique artistry and worldwide significance of the iconic artist through a priceless collection of more than 100,000 items spanning Dylan’s career including: handwritten manuscripts, notebooks and correspondence; films, videos, photographs and artwork; memorabilia and ephemera; personal documents and effects; unreleased studio and concert recordings; musical instruments; and many other elements.
The 29,000-square-foot, state-of-the art center also features rotating exhibits, public programs, performances, lectures and publications, through which it aims to foster a conversation about the role of creativity in our lives.
Since opening the Bob Dylan Center in 2022, the space has welcomed visitors from 40 countries and all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. Annually, a combined 30,000 visitors experience the Bob Dylan Center and The Woody Guthrie Center, with 65% coming from outside Oklahoma.
