Costume from 2003 film "Masked and Anonymous" worn by Bob Dylan.
draft of “You’re a Big Girl Now,” a key song from Dylan’s seminal album, was written prior to the break-up with his wife, Sarah. So, the song that we always thought was about the breakup turns out to be a plea for Sarah to forgive him before they broke up. It changes the whole sense of what that song or what that album was about.” The Bob Dylan Archive® will become more available to the public with the planned 2021 opening of The Bob Dylan Center in the Tulsa Arts District. There, the public can view curated materials from the archive, similar to what is being displayed in Bob Dylan: Face Value and Beyond. “The first process was getting the archive here and getting it to a stable location, which is the Helmerich Center for American Research at Gilcrease,” Chaiken said. “Now that everything is here, we can work toward the creation of The Bob Dylan Center, which is essentially the public face while the archive is the beating heart.”
