Bob Dylan is reportedly set to unveil a massive iron gateway in Maryland later this month.

The folk legend has been working as a designer of wrought iron gates as a passion project and one of his pieces will now be displayed at the MGM National Harbor Casino.

"Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow," Dylan said in a statement.

"They can be closed, but at the same time they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow.

They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways, there is no difference."

"Mr. Dylan is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians of our time, but his incredible metalwork sculptures are a testament to his creative genius and ability to transcend mediums," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.

"As a company founded upon entertainment, we're truly inspired by artists who channel their energy into diverse paths.

We're proud to collaborate with Mr. Dylan and bring his vision to MGM National Harbor's Heritage Collection in a way that enhances this sensory resort experience."
