Okay, I had mixed feelings... by hajin
Okay, I had mixed feelings about whether or not I should put this in the Tourist Trap section or the must see, but in deference to the great man himself, opted for the more positive placement...The Bob Marley Museum. The legend lived here, worked here, his silver, gold and platinum records are here, his old bicycle is here, that famous denim shirt he wore all the time is here, and even the bullet holes are in the walls when some political gangsters tried to kill him. But is the spirit of Marley and what his music 'speaks' here? Very little of it, let me tell you. At a whopping $400 Jamaican dollars, the museum has some interesting things and a pretty good 20 minute video at the end, but is purely for the tourists and that is VERY VERY clear. True Marley fans will either be in heaven or feel nauseated by the place...I was caught in between. It was all very interesting, but they were reallllly trying to cash in on his legacy.There are only two things they allow you to take pictures of...there's a statue and the front gate. After you're done snapping that, they ask that you leave your cameras in your car or at the gatehouse. If they catch you taking other shots on the tour, they'll confiscate your film. Don't ask me why, I have no idea...
