Bob Marley's Museum is the epitome of cultural experience. This museum showcases some of Marley's artifacts. A guided tour is provided that gives insight and a synopsis of his life, at the end a video showing Bob Marley is on display for those who would like to know more about this Reggae icon.

With Tuff Gong and the Bob Marley Museum only a twenty-minute drive from Norman Manley International Airport (Kingston), make Kingston your Jamaica base camp. If you're a recording artist, producer, or a spirited tourist, Kingston has many pleasures to offer to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Like most international cities, Kingston has great dining, activities, and night life all within close proximity to relaxing and affordable accommodations.
From Kingston, you can conveniently visit Tuff Gong, the Bob Marley Museum, and plan a day trip to Bob's birth place and final resting place in Nine Mile, a village situated in the parish of St. Ann. We've put the above information together to help you plan your next Jamaica holiday.

The Bob Marley Statue in Island Village is an artistic interpretation of Marley, sculpted by Jamaican Sculpture Christopher Gonzales. The statue portrays Marley growing from the ground, like a tree. His legs blending in to a trunk shape at the base, his dreadlocks joining with the roots of the tree and Marley is holding his microphone stand like a staff. Gonzales is quoted as saying that "the symbolism of the tree trunk from which the figure emerges represents Marley's ascent from the ghetto into international acclaim with the music he created".
The Bob Marley statue had a long and controversial life before finding a home in Island Village. Christopher Gonzales' statue was originally commissioned to stand outside of the national stadium in Kingston, to commemorate the death of the reggae legend. However, the public (and the Marley family) did not take well to Gonzales' artistic interpretation of Bob Marley and were highly vocal in their criticism. The statue was swiftly removed from its spot outside of the national stadium and the Jamaican Government commissioned Alvin Marriott to sculpt a replacement. Marriott's interpretation was more true-to-life and met with the approval of the Jamaican public; it can still be found occupying the spot outside the national stadium.

Bob Marley is one of Jamaica's top musical and cultural icons from which the whole world have come to know, love and admire. This museum is used as a dedication to one of our greats where many of his many studio albums were made. Therefore I find this museum to commenserate Marley's life through all his joys and sorrows, thus giving the external eye and mind what it feels like to live in Bob's world.
