Journalist Wants You to Pay for Her Kurt Cobain Museum

FUSE TV - Journalist Wants You to Pay for Her Kurt Cobain Museum

Jaime Dunkle of Portland, Oregon wants to purchase Kurt Cobain's childhood home with your help! 

The Nirvana frontman's mother, Wendy O'Connor, listed the Aberdeen, Washington residence last fall for a cool $500,000, disregarding the $67,000 resale value. Earlier this month Dunkle created a GoFundMe.com campaign hoping to raise $700,000 to purchase the house and cover curatorial costs.

She writes: "We want to turn Kurt Cobain's childhood home into a museum. We're making sure this house is memorialized by us fans so it doesn't end up in the clutches of capitalist greed. This museum will reflect the anti-commercialism spirit of Nirvana."

Donating to Dunkle's cause comes with a few perks: $15 will get you one year of membership to the museum, $50 will get you five, $100 will get you that and a homemade shirt with Nirvana lyrics, $300 gets you a pair of tickets to a sold out Die Antwoord show in Portland (?) and $1,000 is a lifetime membership and one sleepover in the grunge star's old room. As of Thursday afternoon, the cause has raised $150.

The listing follows Aberdeen, WA's first Kurt Cobain Day, where his hometown honored the icon with this weird crying statue thing.

Dunkle posted a YouTube clip of Cobain's childhood bedroom, watch it below.
