15 can't-miss exhibits at the Bob Dylan Center

—An "Inventing Bob Dylan" exhibit includes a picture of his high school rock band, the Golden Chords. The highlight is an interview with Chords drummer LeRoy Hoikkala. He died in 2020 but his daughter signed her name at The Bob on opening weekend.

—A "Twin Cities" display concentrates on Dylan's days at the University of Minnesota, with a rare photo of him at the campus' Hillel House (the only young man wearing a tie and sport jacket, no less) and a shot of him performing with Spider John Koerner at the 10 O'Clock Scholar coffeehouse in Dinkytown.

—In a film clip in the upstairs theater, Twin Cities musician Tony Glover talks about how he and Dylan recorded a soundtrack for a 1961 underground movie, "Autopsy on Operation Abolition." Their songs can be heard in the clip but since Dylan was under contract to Columbia Records, he was credited as "B.L. Jefferson," a nod to bluesman Blind Lemon Jefferson.
