Bob Marley Museum
Former home of the legend
Back to Bob Marley Museum
What i liked most about the museum, the staircase, the original wood going up the stairs. The porch off the bedroom looking towards the hills. The sad place was the shot room with the bullet hold in the wall. Love the herb garden, thanks Rita.

We have been to this museum several times over a ten year period, and used the museum as a meeting place this year. We are charmed by the fact that some of Bob Marley's friends still can be found there, and you can listen to true rastas reason about the concerns of the day. What shocked me (and would shock Bob Marley if he could see the place now) is the recent installation of surveillance cameras everywhere and the computerization of the shops...I spent half my time in lines while clerks vainly searched for the numerical codes for sale items and had to make phone calls for instructions on how to make almost every sale. There is also a life size hologram of Bob now and a couple of additions of artwork by devoted fans. Always worth the price of admission for lovers of reggae and rastafari. Interesting to see how technology is encroaching...

The museum was amazing in that it collected all aspects of the family and the foundation that was built. From Bob's Rover on the front lawn, to the gardens in the back and to the recording studio (which only family members can enter), I felt so lucky to be there. In the last part of the tour I put my finger in the bullet hole left in the wall by the attempted assassination of Bob Marley. The experience was one I will never forget!

When me and my family went to Kingston the first thing we did was pick up my uncles and went to the museum. I loved the tour, and the stories and things they told about Bob and the house was quite amazing really. Some of the stuff she said , my dad didnt even know much less my self. I loved it when we went into the record room where you could see all of his records. Overall this tour was the best tour i have ever gotten. they were all happy and smiling when they gave us the tour and cheerfull. I loved that about the place. I would go back there if I got to go back to Jamaica.

The Museum and tour was really informative, even from someone like me who isn't a die hard fan.

The personnel there were to say the least friendly. the displays inside the place were newspapers taped the the wall. The showed you bullet holes.you could not even go to the bathroom. you could smell it before you got there. waste of money and time. I could get the point about no pictures put there is a guy there with a machiet to get the point across
