Speaking of music, did you know that Bob Dylan was also from Minnesota? If you’re Minnesotan like me, of course you do. He originally had roots in Minneapolis before getting big, and then later owned the Orpheum Theatre on Hennepin Avenue.

In 2015 the building owner invested $50,000 into this 60 feet tall art installation to “revitalize it’s downtown cultural district”, as the Star Tribune puts it.

The mural features a music lyric that says “Times are a changin’”, with three images of Bob Dylan ranging from his younger and older self.
