He broke through with songs such as "Blowin 'in the wind" and "The times they are a-changin" in the 1960s and since then he has sold over 125 million records globally, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.
Now he is being celebrated around the United States on his 80th birthday.
Rock star and poet Patti Smith paid tribute to her colleague this weekend through two outdoor concerts with Dylantema in New York.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, they recently opened the doors to a museum dedicated to the music icon.
The collection contains over 100,000 objects, including handwritten original manuscripts for famous songs, unreleased music recordings, films and photos.
Memorial in the place where I grew up
In the hometown of Hibbing in the US state of Minnesota, they have had a year-long celebration, among other things by taking the first sod to a future memorial at Dylan's old school Hibbing high school.
Even though the music icon has passed retirement age, he is still active, most recently last year he released a new record.
In December last year, Dylan sold his entire song catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group in a deal that was estimated to be worth $ 300 million, which is equivalent to SEK 2.5 billion.
