It was previously reported last year that Kurt Cobain’s childhood home was being put up for sale. Now, one potential buyer is attempting to raise money to purchase the Nirvana frontman’s former house in hope to make it a museum in his memory.

As Pitchfork note, Portland resident and journalist Jaime Dunkle is aiming to reach a $700,000 target via GoFundMe to buy the property. The museum itself, she says, will “contain actual donated items from his life”.

Donations currently only stand at $35 but Dunkle hopes more will contribute to help make sure the house is “memorialized by fans so it doesn’t end up in the clutches of capitalist greed”.

You can check out pictures of the house in Aberdeen, Washington below, as well as a video Dunkle took inside the home.
