The Bob Marley museum is situated on the site of the legendary musician’s home, which he purchased in 1975. This house, featuring 19th-century architecture, was Marley’s home until his transition in 1981. It was converted into a museum six years later by his wife, Mrs Rita Marley. The main museum displays Marley’s personal treasures.
The property also features a well-equipped 80-seat theatre, a photographic gallery, a record shop and a gift shop filled with a wide array of Bob Marley memorabilia.
Relax and enjoy a sumptuous meal from the One Love Café after you’ve completed your tour which offers a peek into every aspect of Bob Marley’s life.
Absolutely stunning and heartfelt experience. Our guide Shane was incredible and had a spectacular voice and encouraged us to sing along to Marley songs with him (which of course we did). Each room in the house has treasures, stories and history that is unmatched in this world. Marley's life, Rita, the I-Threes, and the Wailers have kept Robert Nesta's vision and dreams alive. Treat yourself to this truly special place. No pictures inside and they couldn't do it justice anyway. ❤️ One Love. One Heart. Lets get together and feel alright.
$25 USD for adult entrance. Tours are brought through the house and studio where Bob Marley lived and worked. You visit his studios, office, and living area. There are a tonne of pictures and posters and newspaper articles everywhere. There is also a separate smaller theatre where a short film is shown. The film features some first-hand interviews with Bob, as well as contributions from his colleagues and family. Our guide (Jevi) was knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a lot of information in bite-sized chunks. Exit through the gift shop. Lots of t-shirts for sale. Photography is forbidden inside the house and theatre. But there is a lot of artwork around the property and a couple of statues of Bob in action. If you're walking or driving in independent of a tour, the ticket booth is next to the OneLove Cafe.
Beautiful house, great tour guide and loved seeing the recording studio. It was interesting to understand a bit more about Rastafarian religion, however I felt this could have been explained better and how it linked to the meaning behind bob’s music. I felt that the groups were far too large which affected the experience as the rooms are small and it slows down the energy of the group and feels like less opportunity for interaction with the guide. I also thought the prices were too expensive. The cafe sells coconut water for $10. A smoothie is $15. $25 for entrance seems very high too when groups are that large.
Nicolas, our tour guide, made the whole experience amazing. He was fun. He was enthusiastic. He had so much knowledge and made us laugh and really engage. Some of the murals surrounding the property are interactive with a Snapchat filter. Which I thought was cool. There is no photography inside the residence but we didn’t mind. Nicolas told us stories about Bob Marley’s personal life and has us laughing most of the time anyway
Very good tour. Our guide Amanda kept us listening and her singing was on point. Facilities were clean. Staff that we interacted with was happy and pleasant. Our only concern was that we drove past the entrance to the museum ( could do with a sign saying entrance a few yards ahead, so that you can prepare yourself in times of busy traffic).
