New PPIM Fundraising Auctions

NEW PPIM FUNDRAISING AUCTIONS
94 ITEMS

Items Launching Thursday May 14
Items Ending Sunday May 24

The collection continues to amaze me, and, we are getting better (or worse?) at creating MORE of it: a signed ticket from the PIG event, signed Jah Wobble memoir, shirts, posters, my ever popular drum tracks, and more!

Even as we look back, we are looking relentlessly forwards!

We are opening the archive for this special benefit auction featuring rare, strange, beautiful, and historically loaded objects from the worlds of post-punk, industrial music, underground culture, and the Museum, itself. Every lot tells a story, and every bid helps preserve the larger story — funding the work of cataloging, protecting, exhibiting, and sharing this culture. We have ten new interns starting for the summer so this will multiply their effectiveness as we move forwards!

Bid on something, be awesome, come visit!

UPCOMING EVENTS

In June, we’ll be hosting a variety of events, including annual Private Founders Meet Founders events, in person and later virtual, to provide our national and international Founders with options! Industry Mondays will begin in June, where other industry professionals who can’t make it out on the weekend can catch a discounted tour on a day off – we gotcha!

We’re excited to announce Friday June 12, we will be welcoming David J of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets for a special chat with Martin at the Museum! Oh – and don’t forget to bring your Punk Dad out the following weekend for Father’s Day!!

July, August, and September are jam-packed with tours, celebrations of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Lollapalooza, Ministry, Riot Fest, NiN Broken, and then finally Cold Waves! Our annual Cold Waves Weekend (mis)Guided Tours and Brunch are LIVE!

Don’t forget there are often weekend (mis)Guided Tours with Martin, and if you’re looking to stay in town, check out the AirBnB!

There’s a lot going on around our 5th Anniversary and, we’re sure, more to come! You can find all upcoming event details below!
