Punk Museum:
Punk Museum forms an important part of the exhibition The Present and Presence, with which the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova opened in November 2011. Conceived by Igor Vidmar, Punk Museum is based on digitized documentary material and photographs from Vidmar's and other people's private archives. Punk Museum is not some complete or conclusive whole, but rather an open archive that grows and expands with the contributions of all interested parties. Everyone is welcome to bring their photographs, posters, concert tickets, or other objects to the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova to be digitized.
