At the American Writers Museum in Chicago, there is an exhibit currently showing, “Bob Dylan: Electric.” The exhibit opened on November 16, 2018, and is set to run until April 30.

According to The Chicago Tribune:

AWM president Carey Cranston described the exhibit as “a first-of-its-kind experience,” adding the museum “is honored to present one of music’s most iconic instruments together with a unique collection of musical, literary, and cultural artifacts.”

“The world knows Bob Dylan as a prolific songwriter,” he continued. “’Bob Dylan: Electric’ gives the public a chance to see how his writing shaped more than just American music but American literature as a whole.”

You can read the entire Tribune article, “Exhibit looks at how Bob Dylan 'going electric' influenced American culture, music and literature” here.

I have not had the good fortune to go to Chicago to see “Bob Dylan: Electric,” but Dylan fan Steve Meyers posted a fascinating quote on the Facebook page “Dylanology” after he toured the exhibit:
