The Icelandic Punk Museum
Bankastræti 0, 101 Reykjavík
Underground former public toilet turned scrappy museum of a defunct punk rock scene.
This guide to the Icelandic Punk Museum in Reykjavik starts with a stairwell on Bankastræti that sat locked for sixteen years after serving as a public toilet nicknamed the Zero. It follows musician Finni of the band Doctor Spock and music historian Doctor Gunni as they quietly gather donated instruments, clothes and tapes from Iceland's old punk scene, built out of phone calls and favors rather than a grant application. Stand at the bottom of the stairs, on the same tiled floor and drains that sat forgotten for a decade and a half.
