Now home to a museum dedicated to Bob Marley’s work, 56 Hope Road in Kingston was once both the artist’s main residence and recording studio.
In 1970, Bob Marley and the Wailers formed their own label, Tuff Gong. They moved into a two-story colonial-style wooden house and set up a studio. In 1975, the success of their music allowed Bob Marley to buy the place and move in with his wife Rita. It is here that he worked until his death in 1981. Founded in 1985, the museum now houses many objects related to the musician such as guitars, records, murals and song lyrics.
