Nirvana museum to open in Seattle
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 25 March 2011
A new exhibition displaying various items of Nirvana memorabilia, entitled ‘Nirvana: Taking Punk To The Masses’ is to open in the band’s hometown of Seattle next month. Amongst the items will be the first of many guitars Kurt Cobain ever destroyed on stage.
Bassist Krist Novoselic said of the exhibition: “It’s great that there will soon be a collection that celebrates [Cobain’s] contribution to music and culture. There’s a story with Nirvana at its centre, but it’s a story that also includes the many people, bands and institutions that make up a music community”.
It opens at the Experience Music project on 16 Apr and will run until 22 Apr.
