One of the most unique symbols of the city is the Bob Marley Museum whose exposition is dedicated to the life and work of the world-famous musician. This museum was founded in 1985 in an old house in which the singer spent the last years of his life.
The main exhibits of the museum include old musical instruments, on which the songwriter played, as well as his numerous awards won at festivals and competitions. Over the past 30 years, the situation in Bob Marley's house has not changed much, even the walls pasted with newspapers have remained the same. A lot of personal belongings of the musician, old photographs, and vinyl records are stored here.
One of the most beautiful historic buildings in Kingston houses a museum called the King's House. The first luxury mansion on its site was built in 1872, but during one of the earthquakes, it was completely destroyed. The building that one can see today was completed in 1907, and in 1962, a James Bond film was shot next to it. Now the old building is a vivid example of colonial-style architecture, an interesting and diverse collection of exhibits has been collected within its walls. It stores antique furniture, gold-embroidered tapestries, and beautiful paintings, as well as other unique interior items of the colonial times.
