KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — The childhood home of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in Washington will be turned into a landmark following approval from the Archaeology and Historic Preservation Department.reported that fans will be able to travel back in time to see the house — a modest 139.4 square metres home — where the iconic rock star grew up.The current owner of the home Lee Bacon said he was “90 to 95 per cent complete” in re-creating the house and returning it to its prime vintage state.
While neighbourhood zoning regulations prevent the residence from becoming a full-time museum, Bacon is looking into ways to open the home for the occasional private tour. “Our goal is to make the house a tribute project to Kurt’s early life and career, with museum detail,” he reportedly said.Cobain’s sister Kim, who is also getting a say in the exhibit’s display said she enjoyed being involved and providing her input.Also in the works is a plaque for the front of the house, which Bacon feels will be especially important as time moves further away from Nirvana’s height of stardom and Cobain’s 1994 death.
“We have to write it for someone in the future, 20 years from now, who wants to learn about Kurt,” Bacon said. Cobain, who was married to singer-songwriter Courtney Love, committed suicide on April 5, 1994.
