More information was shared via imotorhead.com:
“A new exhibition dedicated to Motörhead and Lemmy will open Friday, October 2nd, 2026, at The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Motörhead were a legendary force in rock and heavy metal, led by the unmistakable presence of Lemmy Kilmister. With their uncompromising sound, attitude and relentless approach, Motörhead built a devoted following across generations and around the world.
While the band helped define the sound of heavy metal, their roots ran just as deep into punk rock. Lemmy was a part of the British punk scene from its earliest days, including a stint playing bass with The Damned. Motörhead’s speed, volume and intensity would go on to influence generations of punk bands, including Pennywise, Rancid and Lagwagon, among countless others.
At the center of Motörhead’s sound was Lemmy’s Rickenbacker bass, driven through towering Marshall stacks. The combination produced the immense volume and unmistakable intensity that became synonymous with the band. For generations of fans, Motörhead weren’t simply a band you heard—they were a band you felt.
The new exhibition will feature personal items from Lemmy’s collection, including photographs and handwritten lyrics, offering visitors a closer look at the man behind the music.
One of the exhibition’s most unique features will give museum guests the opportunity to actually play Lemmy’s bass through the very stack he used.
Rather than simply viewing the equipment behind glass, visitors will be able to plug in, pick up the bass and experience the gear that helped create Motörhead’s unmistakable sound. It is a rare opportunity to interact directly with an important part of the band’s history.
Motörhead albums will also be available through Vinyl Threat, The Punk Rock Museum’s record store, while exclusive Motörhead merchandise will be available in the museum’s gift shop.
To mark the opening, Three Star Punk Bar will host a special evening featuring Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records behind the decks as DJ. Guests will be invited to raise a glass to Lemmy while celebrating the music and legacy of Motörhead.”
