Olson Kundig is designing the Bob Dylan Center, the public-facing home of the Bob Dylan Archive. The Center is dedicated to the study and appreciation of Bob Dylan and his worldwide cultural significance. It will curate and exhibit a collection of more than 100,000 items spanning nearly 60 years of Dylan’s career, from his handwritten manuscripts, notebooks and correspondence, to films, videos, artwork, memorabilia, and studio recordings.

I’m glad that my archives, which have been collected all these years, have finally found a home. Bob Dylan
