Museum to debut in March 2023
“Punk rock is arguably the most significant style of music,” a previous statement said. “This isn’t just for punk bands that have made a big impact or sold a lot of records.
“This is for every punk band that has ever been on a flyer, played in a basement, or recorded a demo tape. This is an all-inclusive museum dedicated to punk rock for punks and looky-loos alike!”
Ralph Appelbaum Associates (RAA), a multidisciplinary firm specialising in the planning and design of museums, exhibits, educational environments and visitor attractions, is a design consultant for this project.
In more news, the Museum of Illusions is heading to Las Vegas, with its largest attraction to date set to open in early spring 2023.
