THE GUIDES

Rotating 'punk legends' who tell the story first‑hand

Tours are led by musicians and other figures who were active participants in the scenes they describe; rather than scripted commentary, guides share personal anecdotes and insider perspectives on the artifacts on display.

THE FORMAT

Intimate, conversational tours with time for Q&A

Designed for direct interaction, tours are capped to keep groups intimate and to allow Q&A with the guide; they run roughly an hour and a half to two hours and are scheduled multiple times per day.

THE EXPERIENCE

A lively walk through punk’s artifacts and stories

The museum’s exhibits and lively atmosphere combine to deliver an unforgettable journey through punk’s rebellious spirit, anchored by guides who connect objects to personal memory and scene history.
