A mini MOTÖRHEAD museum has opened in Burslem, Stoke on Trent, England, the hometown of late frontman Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister.

The visitor centre is part of Old No.

6, a venue that aims to welcome fans from around the world who come to see the Lemmy statue and explore Burslem.

It will also help raise funds for the Lemmy Project, including plans to transform the Grade II listed Queen's Theatre into Kilmister Halls — a 1,500 capacity music venue and cultural hub honoring the MOTÖRHEAD frontman.

The visitor centre features a museum showcasing MOTÖRHEAD memorabilia and artwork, as well as a bar serving official MOTÖRHEAD beers and "Lemmy lemonade".

A Lemmy statue, crafted by local sculptor Andy Edwards out of Staffordshire clay, is also on display.

MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Phil Campbell attended the ceremony unveiling the statue last year and placed Lemmy's ashes in the statue with accompaniment from a biker's corteo.

The visitor centre aims to celebrate MOTÖRHEAD's groundbreaking contributions to heavy metal music.

The band, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, is renowned for their rebellious attitude and iconic frontman Lemmy.
