Los Angeles, London (England) and now Kitchener.
THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener opened its doors “One Love- A The Bob Marley Exhibition” for a 6 month run.
The interactive exhibit tells Marley’s story through photos and music. Co-created with the Marley estate by the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, Ali Stuebner the Senior Manager of Curatorial Affairs at the Grammy Museum told 570 News they wanted to get across Bob’s message of love and peace as well as highlight his spirituality and political activism.

The highlight piece to check out in this exhibit is an original denim shirt worn by Marley as well as an original Les Paul guitar the reggae musician had modified to attain a specific sound he was looking for.
Stuebner told 570 News Bob’s son Ziggy had some difficulty letting go of that guitar and actually hand delivered it to the Los Angeles Museum an hour before the exhibit was to open its doors. She says a photo was taken of Ziggy handing over the guitar with a very nervous look on his face.
Kitchener is the only Canadian city where the exhibit is being presented. After its run here on September 2nd it heads to Miami before all the exhibit pieces are returned to the Marley family.
