TULSA, Oklahoma — A new exhibition at the Bob Dylan Center will explore the year following Bob Dylan’s controversial electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
“Thin Wild Mercury: Dylan 1966” is set to open on Saturday, July 18, in the center’s Parker Brothers Gallery. It is scheduled to run through Jan. 31, 2027.
According to an email from the Bob Dylan Center, the exhibition “is an immersive multimedia exhibition that captures the spectacle, power and fury of Dylan’s landmark year.”
The exhibition covers Dylan’s fall 1965 concerts with The Band, the recording and release of “Blonde on Blonde,” his first novel, “Tarantula,” and the “raucous and defiant” 1966 World Tour. It is expected to include never-before-seen manuscripts, photographs and newly restored film footage to bring the story to life.
Presenting Sponsors Bob and Debbie Russell are supporting “Thin Wild Mercury: Dylan 1966.”
