Crowdfunding campaign set up to turn Ian Curtis's house into a museum
Joy Division fan Zak Davies has started a campaign to buy Ian Curtis's former home and turn in into a museum in his memory
He plans to raise a minimum of £150,000 to cover the following costs:
£115,000 on the purchase of the property
£30,000 on the renovation to the original interior
£5,000 on any legal costs
Not everyone welcomes the scheme - Incubation Arts have been working for some time to establish a similar museum elsewhere in Macclesfield and one-time owner of the house Dorothy Bentley-Smith would prefer the property to remain residential.
Media coverage has inevitably tended to focus on Ian's death rather than the fact that he wrote his best work in the triangular room at the front of the house. See pic below.
