World of Bob Dylan Symposium - May 31 at the Gilcrease Museum

On Friday morning the organizers hired buses to take the attendees to the Gilcrease Museum about 3 miles away. The museum houses the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of art of the American West, as well as a growing collection of art and artifacts from Central and South America.  There was an exhibit called Bob Dylan: Face Value and Beyond which featured his artworks.

There was an exhibit titled “Shakespeare’s in the Alley: A Tribute to Bob Dylan.” The text-based art installation features some of Dylan’s most loved songs reproduced on large banners that will hang from the ceiling of Helmerich Hall inside Gilcrease Museum. The work consists of more than 49 fabric song-panels, each representing a different lyric from Bob Dylan’s long and ongoing career.
