Peter Tosh co-founded the Wailers with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, then made a solo career of confrontational records, and this museum opened in 2016 with his family's involvement. It holds his M16-shaped guitar, awards, stage clothes, the unicycle he was known for riding, and material on his campaigning. It is smaller and less visited than the Marley museum across town, and it gives a different account of the same years.
What you actually see
- The M16 guitar - Tosh's best-known instrument, made in the shape of a rifle.
- The unicycle - the one he rode, kept in the collection.
- The awards and stage clothes - material from his solo years.
- The Wailers material - documents and images from the group's early period.
When to go
Year round; the museum keeps daytime hours and is closed on some days. Mornings are quietest. Reggae Month in February brings extra events.
Honest expectations
The museum is small and an hour covers it. Opening hours have varied and checking ahead is worthwhile. The entry charge is high for the size of the collection.
Nearby
Emancipation Park is nearby, and the Bob Marley Museum is a short drive north.
