Bob Marley museum. by morgr
I know, I know. This is probably the biggest cliche in Kingston, and I wondered whether I should put it in 'tourist trap' or 'must see'. Well I chose 'must see' because, after all, it is the house of Bob Marley. What more need I say? Certainley it doesn't have the same sort of appeal as tuff gong or nine mile would to a fan, but if you have only a slight interest in the man, than this is where to go. It is the easiest accesible of the three and most geared up towards tourists (and that mean ripping them off too).Inside Bob Marley's house you see the usual stuff you see in these types of places, clothes he wore, guitars he played, a world map with dots on all the towns he played (to my surprise, Vancouver had no dot). In the back are even still the bullet holes in the wall from an assassination attempt on him. Also, in the back yard you can see what were (apparently) Marley's drying racks (ie. to dry his pot). In the end is an interesting 15 or 20 min video.
If my memory serves me well, wich after my time in Jamaica it very well may not, we payed $400 Jamaican each for entrance. They will also take your camera's from you. You can take a picture with the statue and under the main gate, after wich you must leave your camera with the guy/girl in the ticket booth, to be returned after the tour. You are not allowed pictures inside the house or anywhere else on the property.
