Las Vegas has its fair share of odd museums, from the Mob Museum to the Atomic Testing Museum, there is no shortage of unique things to look at, so it doesn’t surprise me that Vegas is home to the Punk Rock Museum. Opening in 2023, artifacts from the punk music scene are displayed over two stories and 12,000 square feet. Oh, and there is even a bar, jam room, and record shop!

Fans of the Clash, the Ramones, Joan Jett, Subhumans, Circle Jerks, NOFX, Motörhead, Nirvana, The Misfits, Social Distortion and more will be on cloud nine, as you wander the halls, gazing upon shirts, jackets, musical instruments, and more. If you’re lucky you might just get a legend to show you around, as musicians are known to drop in and give tours.

Some of my favorite and most unique items on display were original furniture used in Mike Ness’ studio (While I love Social Distortion, I really enjoy Ness’ solo albums more), a great collection of Ramones items, including a ring belonging to Dee Dee Ramone, Kurt Cobain’s green leather jacket, the original vacuum form for the iconic Devo hats, Slim Jim Phantom’s Stray Cats jacket, and a bullet necklace containing the ashes of Lemmy from Motörhead that was given to people at his funeral.

The Punk Rock Museum is located at 1422 Western Avenue in Las Vegas. For more information, including upcoming musician lead tours, visit their website.
