Johnny lydon iceland punk rock museum london

Said museum is dedicated to the Icelandic punk scene that started in 1978, and is located in what used to be a public bathroom for women on Bankastræti street, Reykjavík.

Lydon said a few words before opening the floor to questions by saying: "I don't know what the format is here, and I don't work with format anyway, so I suppose if everyone has a question, then pile in."

Asked about what people can expect from the museum, he said, "I can't say I've looked at the museum...

But I saw a toilet down there and left my mark on it."

Asked about the purpose of the museum, he said: "I don't know what we're doing here, I know we're opening a museum, which is not a bad idea. I mean, at least it's not in Britain run by the Conservative government." Lydon further added that there really should be a punk museum #2, and #3, and so on until the present day because: "proper punk is constantly reinventing itself."

He then reminisced about how he got into punk because he saw the world as a shit
