Bob Dylan Center

Never met a Museum we didn't love and the BDC stands tall. Amazing both this and the Woody Guthrie Center are side by side in Tulsa. Great two-fer. I love the iPod type tech to help with your self guided tour. If you're in the area, and a Dylan fan, stop by. Well worth the diversion.

Great tribute to bob Dylan. The free audio guide enhances the experience. They had special exhibit on Jesse Davis which was a good insight into one of the greatest guitarist of his times

Every time I have been to the Bob Dylan Center I leave wondering why I don't listen to Bob Dylan 24/7 or play the guitar. It's such an inspiring museum and they keep adding more so there are always reasons to go back. When you come into the museum you are given an iPod to listen to Bob Dylan's music while reading about and looking at pictures and memorabilia. The second floor shows more of his art but still has lots to read and listen to. Definitely give yourself time to spend time on both floors.

What an amazing place! My parents wanted to come here and I tagged along with them and had no regrets. This place allowed me to learn more about Bob Dylan in new and creative ways. I enjoyed the interactions throughout the building. The iPod with headphones was a neat feature that allowed for you to tap an icon to hear sound. I liked the typewriter (never used one before), the board with markers, and the amazing staff. (And bob Dylan of course) Had a great conversion with Tana. Their staff made this more enjoyable. It's a very beautiful museum that allows you to learn so much about this historical figure. There's also merch available as well!

This spot is incredible, and in my mind, it's must-visit if you're in Tulsa. First off, I was unfamiliar with your game, Tulsa! The cool arts district around here, and a Woody Guthrie + Bob Dylan Center side by side? Impressive. I was there on a beautiful day and was just blown away by all the memorabilia, the timelines, and not to sound all Taylor Swift on y'all, but the eras of Bob Dylan and his incredible run of success. I've been a huge Dylan fan since my early high school days, and he still cycles into my rotation at some point each year, typically in the spring for whatever reason. He's a lyricist of the highest regard, and he has some savant level understanding of music, particularly folk. What's cool is that there's so many connections to other genres and musicians here as well, so really you've got a lot to take in. Additionally, the staff here is very friendly and helpful.I think it's cool that Tulsa has this gem, now go see it!

This is definitely worth a stop if you're in the Tulsa area and a fan of Bob Dylan. It was cool to read all of the different exhibits to learn about his formative years prior to being a musician and how he evolved as a person and musician throughout his lifetime. It's interactive and if you're interested in Bob Dylan, it's enough to keep you entertained and immersed for 1-1.5 hours. It's not a huge museum by any means, but there is a lot of informative to digest and signs to listen to. I don't think you'd have much fun here if you are a kid or if you don't like Bob Dylan music a lot as in more than just his radio hits or more than you can count on two hands.

I was never a Bob Dylan fan, but after touring this center, I have a new appreciation for both the man and his music. The center is very high tech. You are given a headset for an audio tour. You hear a lot of Dylan music as well as Dylan history. Two things I didn't realize are that he was influenced by Woody Guthrie and that he became a Christian when someone threw a pocket cross on stage and he picked it up and took it to his hotel room. This museum is worth a visit and is a good place to take out of town guests.

Great museum examining the impact of one of pop music's most influential figures. There are tons of artifacts and multimedia displays. You could easily spend several hours here.

As you enter the Bob Dylan Center, do not miss the metal work sculpture. It was specifically done for the space by the man himself. (Look at the bottom for the buffalo to see his signature.) I would not have known this until the friendly security guard told me I had already failed my visit. :) I went back to start over and to appreciate this art piece.I loved the self-guided tour. It was wonderful to listen to selections from Dylan's repertoire as you walked the museum. DO NOT MISS THE upstairs. That might be the best part with the photos of other icons by Jerry Schatzberg and "The Gift." The latter is compendium of talent, art and creativeness that drove Dylan. How lucky are Tulsans to have this museum just steps away from the Woody Guthrie Center? Amazingly fortunate. I did not have enough time. I would recommend two hours if you want to hit every listening point and view all the videos. I am putting the word out to all my music loving friends to visit as soon as they are able.

Well, I really can't travel well cause I've had the first bio-weapon that came out in the 70's. I reckon I have been ill since 1985. Loved looking at your writing "Bear Mountain picnic " gave me a real belly laugh. I used to live all around NYC and upstate and then back to California, bi-coastal. Have a great tour. If you're ever in Marin County, look me up! Be nice to rap. That's in case you ever need a quiet friend. Loved you since your song " blowing in the wind" I was very, very young when that came out and lived in NY as a workin kid. Then back to Marin etc. My favorite author is "John Steinbeck"You remind me of a singing Author like him. His library is at "San Jose university "I would love to check that out with you! Take care on your tour. I know a lot of your past people like Varda, who was my neighbor. Have a Gas on your tour:-)
