Famous photos, orginal sheet music and lyrics written by Robert himself, newspaper articles and reviews of early live shows. They had little listening booths of all his classic 60s albums, some guitars and harmonicas, and a really nice display of artifacts and info of his mentors and influences. The whole thing has excellent sound design as you move from one display area to another, and the listening booths are open, but the sound is very directional and isolated. It's a really sweet collage of sound that carries you around the displays and it works beautifully.

I used to work on museum exhibits so I'm a little biased toward noticing all the little details, but the lighting and flow of the displays and sound design are all first rate. I'm not a huge Dylan fan, and I thought, "what could a museum display offer that I can't get from just listening to his classic albums?" A lot! It was fascinating.
