Peter Tosh Museum

The people who wrote the 5 star reviews must have been reviewing something else. This was a total waste of $2000. I cannot believe they charge tourists $20 for this junk! Three rooms and you have to basically tour yourself since everything is self explanatory. There is hardly anything to look at. My “tour guide” was the security guard, who was more an annoyance than anything else, insisting that I listen to peter tosh songs on the machine they had, despite telling him I was not interested over and over. He finally got the picture when I walked away, leaving him to enjoy the music while I scanned the other 2 walls.

It's still a new museum so there's plenty of time to improve and...

Small but mighty!

We had the pleasure of being guided through the museum by Fuliman (I hope I'm spelling it right) and had an absolutely great visit. He was incredibly well informed and was able to dive into any questions we had about Peter's life and work, the history of Rastafari, and how it all ties into the Jamaican way of life. We had such a good time we actually stayed and chatted for nearly an hour after our tour ended.

Be sure to ask lots of questions to your guide as there is so much political context and history needed to understand the importance and impact of Peter's work. Big ups to everyone telling his story, more people...
