Freddie Mercury Museum — Attraction in Shangani

I am ardent fan of Freddie Mercury and a Zoroastrian, eager to see this Museum and what a disappointment they charge USD 10 per person to read something which is available on net, there was nothing new for Queen fan to know about it, neither his memorabilia. 30 % of museum talks about Stone Town which every one on island knows another 25% of museum talks about Zoroastrian culture of Zanzibar and finally front cover of his records cover the space, there are few letters n notes from Queen but they are place so awful space ( at knee level) that you need to squat to read those letters or so high that you need to stool ( don't know why they are kept at such an odd place) and that too a small wall is allocated. Except for such notes i don't think this place is worth a visit. i was out in 12 minutes flat and when i reach exit i was shock what its all over. A one of the perfect scam place...

The first ever Museum dedicated to the world legend Freddie Mercury, located in Shangani, in the heart of Zanzibar Stone Town, officially inaugurated on Sunday the 24th of November 2019, in order to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the beloved passing of the rock legend.

The Freddie Mercury Museum is officially partnered with Queen Productions Ltd. in the United Kingdom, who have loaned us exclusive pictures of Freddie Mercury throughout different stages in his life. This project aims to showcase a detailed accord of the birth town of Farrokh Bulsara, his roots with the Zoroastrian religion, his childhood and upbringing in Zanzibar, followed by his schooling in Panchgani, and then the rest of his journey to becoming one of the greatest stars...

To console myself, I considered the $20 entrance for myself and my wife a donation to Freddie's memory rather than a hugely inflated entrance fee. Inside are a bunch of photos on the wall probably sourced online. Some clothing which may or may not have been Freddie's (what are the odds his famous yellow jacket is actually sitting in this room in Zanzibar?), a really broken down grand piano used as decoration (I had a go at the keys and it seems they got it at a junkyard), and a few dozen handwritten lyrics which -- if they are authentic (and there is no indication whether they are real or forgeries) -- are worth a fortune.

Takes...
