Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956–1966

Sure, you know Dylan’s from these parts, but do you really know Dylan? This retrospective of his early years, curated by Seattle’s Experience Music Project, should appeal to casual fans and obsessives alike, tracing his evolution from Hibbing rock ’n’ roller to Dinkytown folk-scenester, then on to New York, where he was destined to achieve almost-mythic status. The Weisman has expanded the exhibit to emphasize the legend’s Minnesota roots, including additional relics from his Hibbing and Dinkytown days. Bonuses include artifacts from Dylan’s contemporaries: a handwritten note from Joan Baez, the spur-adorned boots of Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Woody Guthrie’s acoustic guitar, with his name scratched, childlike, onto the back. 333 East River Rd., Minneapolis; 612-625-9494; www.weisman.umn.edu
