The Rock n Roll Public Library will be re-opening its doors for 5 weeks this summer, at a brand new venue under the Westway!
Set in 3500 square feet of former office space, this latest “homecoming” incarnation of Mick’s pop-up exhibition will encourage visitors to enrol with the library and interact with the exhibits. Special facilities will be available on-site to allow users to scan various items from the collection, and take away digital copies on memory sticks.
Described as “an artistic response to the likes of the corporate O2 British Music Exhibition”, the Rock n Roll Public Library contains a mash-up of items from Mick’s life-long collection of punk memorabilia and pop-culture artifacts, and provides a unique guide to the influences behind The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite and Carbon/Silicon.

18th July to 25th August 2009,

Please Note: visitors to the world’s first – resolutely alternative – Rock n Roll Public Library should NOT expect peace and quiet.
