Sneak peek: New Bob Dylan exhibit showcases the man behind the myth
Through photos, video and more, the career of the singer-songwriter is celebrated at a new museum exhibit.
Little new can be said or written about Bob Dylan. It's more a matter of approaching the artist from new angles, which is exactly what a museum at Israel's Tel Aviv University has done with a new exhibit titled "Forever Young – Bob Dylan at 75."
Part of the opening of a new wing at the Beit Hatfutsot museum, the exhibition presents the complex figure that is Bob Dylan, through film, pictures, images, posters, exhibits and a lot of music.
The exhibition also includes a special short documentary film – "My Dylan" – which shows Dylan's influence on Israeli music. The film includes a number of leading Israeli musicians, over different generations of the local music scene, who describe Dylan's influence on them.
From The Grapevine got a preview of the show, which opens May 25.
