Martin Atkins Tells All: Inside His Industrial Music Collection

Martin Atkins opened his Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music to us for a private, one-on-one tour — and we spent the night in the Airbnb above it. Martin is the drummer behind Public Image Ltd, Killing Joke, Ministry, Pigface, and played with Nine Inch Nails. He's spent four decades at the center of industrial music — and now he's built a museum in Chicago to keep that history alive. We got the keys. In this video, Martin walks us through the collection object by object — the gear, the records, the stories behind the artifacts. We go downstairs into his studio, we hear the stories he's never told on a podcast, and we talk about why physical spaces like this matter when the culture keeps losing its homes. 🏛️ What's inside: • A curated one-on-one tour with Martin Atkins • The stories behind the artifacts, object by object • Access to the studio downstairs • Why preserving industrial & post-punk history matters • A night in the museum's Airbnb 📍 Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music — Chicago, IL 👉 Follow the museum: ppimchicago.com 👉 Martin Atkins: martinatkins.com 🕷️ Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro 1:38 — Martin's private tour begins 8:53 — First item in the collection 14:08 — Invisible and Pigface 19:15 — What would you save in a fire? 27:54 — Working with Ministry 37:24 — How to reserve a tour 38:51 — Donating to the museum 45:16 — Exploring the Airbnb 55:43 — A night in the museum's Airbnb 57:14 — Conclusion 📬 Subscribe for more goth culture, industrial music history, and the dark corners of the world: 🖤 We Goth This — https://www.youtube.com/@WeGothThis 💀 Instagram: @wegoththisadventures Some of the music is custom, others came from Epidemic Sound, a great source for all kinds of music.
