In 2016, Dylan sold his archive to the Tulsa-based George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa.[1] The foundation also operates the nearby Woody Guthrie Center with Guthrie's and Phil Ochs' archives, also located within the Tulsa Arts District.[2][3]

The museum opened to the public on May 10, 2022.[2]
