As many of you have seen on the news early this month,
Metropolitan Museum is currently hosting a show called
"PUNK: Chaos to Couture"; its opening was already chaotic
enough with full of celebrities, fans and media. The show is
about the influence of 70s PUNK movement upon the fashion,
and one of the installation everybody is talking about is
the "bathroom" of legendary rock club CBGB.

This detailed reproduction of bathroom has been done
with the extensive research work based on photographs
taken back in the day by, who else, photographer Godlis!

The placement of toilet, electrical lines and the graffiti says
"DEAD BOYS RULE", every detail is exactly like you
see on Godlis' photos documenting one of the prime time
of the club; they even ask him for photo of the ceiling to
make it authentic, which is why Godlis print this rare B&W
photo shown above first time in 35 years...!
