A new Ramones retrospective is coming to Queens Museum, the New York Times reports. “Hey! Ho! Let’s Go: Ramones and the Birth of Punk” runs from April 10 to July 31. It includes more than 350 objects from the band’s archives, as well as the archives of their spokesperson and designer, Arturo Vega; artists such as Shepard Fairey and Yoshitomo Nara; and the magazines Mad and Punk. The show was organized with L.A.’s Grammy Museum, where a second part of the exhibit will open on September 16. 

According to the New York Times, it’s “a retrospective exhibition that will examine the group’s influence on both music and art, as part of a spate of spring programming under the museum’s new director, Laura Raicovich, that focuses on Queens as a Petri dish of global culture.”
