About Woody Guthrie Center

The Woody Guthrie Center is a museum and archive in Tulsa's Arts District dedicated to folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie. Its exhibits rotate, and recent displays have included a show on twelve of his songs about social injustice and a photography exhibit of punk, hip-hop and skateboarding figures linked to his spirit. The building also houses the American Song Archives, which holds Guthrie materials and the papers of folk singer Phil Ochs. The center hosts talks, concerts and other events throughout the year.
