Reviews of South Austin Museum of Popular Culture (Museum)

Keaton Goodwin

Walk in like you own the place or staff will be confused

Lee Potter

Great little stop attached to my neighborhood planet K head shop.

Audi Arellano

Fun and unique exhibits. The setting is very small, but the art speaks for itself.

Kim Mercier

Love this place!

Tracey Bee

While the exhibit they had was interesting, I fell they should devote at least half the space to their collection and the other 1/2 to rotating exhibit. Instead it was about 90% of the exhibit. I would have liked to see more of that they have.

William Tappan Kenny

We couldn't go in properly - they were preparing for a festival. But one of the guys showed us around and it was pretty awesome.

Linda Bouchard

I liked the Easter bash in the courtyard but they let cats in and out. Most were left idling as drivers ran into the store and the cars blocked the only shady places to sit:(

Oddly, the "See inside" is actually a tour of the very cool outside environment of the SAPCC. But, the "Street view", if you click on the building, will abruptly transport you to a 3D tour of the inside of the Center, where a show by photographer Ken Hoge is on display.

Deborah Coley

One of my favorite places to view art and posters related to "Old South Austin" that I remember before the developers moved in and began changing Austin into a city that is becoming unrecognizable to me. But I digress. The museum has rotating exhibits and other events that are well worth checking out.

Jason Herrera

The place is awesome

Bill Dunlap

Great place for art and music.

Michelle Blatteis

Outdoor memorial wall

Toby Lilia García- Maizumi

Great Music & Love the Artwork @Planet K Murals!

James Brenner

Was stopping by to get a replacement part for my vape pen. Had no idea what I was getting into. Like Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole...this place is a National Treasure.

KELSIB WELLS

, really cool place great for kids check it out

Lorna McNamara

Loved visiting with my husband and our friends. We enjoyed our time listening to Stephen Doster. We'll be back soon.

Kyle Barron

The outside is awesome! The inside was not for us. Just do a drive by of the parking lot and leave it at that.

benjamin gonzalez

Best place to learn about Austin's long history of fine arts and culture

Ludwicka Norton

Even the parking lot is an artistic experience.

One of the few true Austin spots left on s. Lamar, the pop museum is a trail of tears for musicians who made Austin what we know it to be today. Thank you Henry!

Vicki Marvin

Cyrus Quaranta

Weird AF. I went there looking for a music agency who's P.O. Box os located here...found this strange shop instead. Was not disappointed. Bought a vape pen -partially because I wanted to buy something from this place just to remind me of it, and partially because vape life. Neat little gizmo. Ran me $15.

Zane Newton

It's amazing to stop & soak in the tributes to all of the famous south Austinites who have passed on. I was born & raised in S Austin yet still learned quite a lot by just stopping to read the tributes for 5 minutes. I highly suggest dropping by here to check it out!

Trent Brown

Mostly kind. Had a hard time talking to the staff and getting a polite response back. Although they were quirky and funny about it, there were still very rude, and I spent over $200 there. Constantly pestered with "can I help you" until I'm ready to check out and it was like pulling teeth to get what I wanted from behind the counter. I would visit again for sure, the museum is awesome, just the people who work at the shop are rude.

Carla Clark

I love this Place! Beautiful Eclecticism , visually stimulating, Awesomeness

Lulu Begonia

The best and hopefully not the last location that honors true old Austin. So happy to hear that some of the musical items from the Threadgill's auction will find a home here! Adore this place & all of its staff.

Marc Starvaggi

This is one of the best places I visited in Austin. A cultural landmark run by people who care immensely about the city and its music history. Probably the friendliest staff at any venue I have visited. Really, thank you so much for telling us your stories!

Jody Immell

Amazing collection of Austin culture and the people who built this city with Music, Art and Love!

Jacki Blue

Always important to south austinites

Rebecca Wright

Great hidden gem, the proprietor is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin music scene past and present.

Al Priest

One of the last places that makes Austin what it was and is.

j k

A dedication to the culture of south Austin. If you haven't stopped by visit an exhibit with drinks and music to follow. Remember the Armadillo.

Tracey Torres

Fantastic Art!

Sam Norton

Great art. Tons of learning with art history

Lara Milhazes

Local visual artists, older folks. Great art. Fun place

paulanthony hernandez

Austin music history. You have to see it.

Chris Coleman

A South Austin gem.

Lorena Silva

The Planet K shop personal treat us rudely and told us to leave the store cause my son was carrying a small plastic toy on his pocket that he previously asked me to get for him and I told him yes , it was $2.95 so why not.. we were shopping still, not ready to pay yet, and all of a sudden a tall blonde lady told me: “your son had this in his pocket, you all gotta leave” I told her that I was going to pay for it and she kept saying “you all gotta leave” We left and didn’t purchased anything of course. We are from Mexico, I felt that she just assumed we were dishonest persons? Idk I just felt so humiliated. I’d understand her attitude if we try to leave the store without paying but we were still there. So disappointed.

Craig Ricks

Great stage live playing here awesome audiences. Austin vibe!!!

James Mulholland

I love the artistic styles but I feel I wasn't "enhanced" enough to fully appreciate the atmosphere

Shiftr0

Outstanding muesem for those who care

Ryan S

Cool little walk with odes to Austin Icons that those that grew up here will know and be found of.

Mary Liston

Especially this month because feature is Esters Follies till Feb 28

Joe Bryson

The old Austin hip vibe runs deep here. Non-profit that shows local artists, including a lot of poster artists from the glory days of Armadillo, Soap Creek, and all the good old music venues of the 60's thru the 80's. There is a Memoriam Wall dedicated to past musicians and scenesters of the Golden Age of hip Austin.

Brittan H

Strange Austin shrine-like ode toTexas musical artist. The headship Planet K is right next door as well as a mini postal station.

Thomas Peres

A shrine to the underground music culture that is overshadowed by the new Austin. Relics of punk legends from Texas and other parts line the walls of this memorial to rock and Austin figures.

Stephanie Mariee

Alot of cool things to check out. Definitely a recommendation for Austin traveler's.

Tony Welch

Best place to truly learn about Austin music scene history

SEBASTIAN Moore

Great atmosphere and must checkout the Museum!

Benjamin Franklin

Great...

Charles Pugh

Lots of Austin memorabilia and pictures of iconic Austin musicians who are no longer with us.

Offer Ben-Saadon

Awesome place for an afternoon with family
