The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica, is located at 56 Hope Road, the iconic musician’s former home, purchased in 1975 and converted into a museum by his wife, Rita Marley, in 1987. This 19th-century house preserves Marley’s legacy with original rooms, his Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, gold and platinum records, stage outfits, and a hologram from the 1978 One Love Peace Concert.
The museum complex includes an 80-seat theatre, photographic gallery, record shop, and gift shop filled with Marley memorabilia. After the tour, visitors can enjoy “ital livity” dishes and natural juices at the One Love Café, which reflects the Marleys' Rastafarian lifestyle and Jamaican culture.
Guided tours run Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., lasting about 75 minutes. Admission is US$25 for adults and US$12 for children ages 4–12, with free entry for those under 3. While partially accessible, the building’s narrow stairs may limit full access for some. The museum is closed on Sundays and select public holidays.
