JENNIFER FINCH, PUNK ROCK TOUR GUIDE (Wrap Report)

Working as a tour guide for The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas during April and June was an absolute blast. I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s worth repeating: I always learn something new with each visit. Whether it’s from a guest who shares their personal history connected to one of the exhibit items—many amazing stories were exchanged—or from a tidbit of information from one of the museum’s incredibly knowledgeable staff members, each day was a unique learning experience.

The exhibits at the museum are truly impressive, offering a deep dive into not just the music and fashion influences of punk rock but also the ethos and street mindset that propelled punk culture to reach different corners of the globe. From iconic memorabilia and rare artifacts to detailed narratives of punk’s evolution, the museum paints a vivid picture of a genre that has left an indelible mark on music and culture.

Each artifact and display tells a story, and witnessing visitors’ reactions to these elements was one of the highlights of my role. I’ve seen firsthand how the museum’s collections inspire and resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds, bringing the rebellious spirit of punk rock to life. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing what new artifacts and exhibits the museum will introduce in the future. If you’re a punk rock enthusiast or just curious about the genre’s impact, I highly recommend checking out The Punk Rock Museum’s summer tour schedule for an opportunity to experience this remarkable collection firsthand. It’s an immersive journey through punk’s rich and transformative history that you won’t want to miss!here.
