Museu do Reggae do Maranhão, Music museum in Historic Center, São Luís, Brazil
The Reggae Museum of Maranhão occupies five exhibition spaces featuring records, photographs, instruments, and memorabilia connected to the local music movement.
The museum opened its doors in January 2018 as the first reggae-themed museum outside Jamaica, documenting the Caribbean music influence since the 1970s.
São Luís residents started receiving Caribbean radio signals in the 1970s through shortwave transmission, leading to the creation of over 200 radiolas systems.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 10 AM and 8 PM, and on weekends from 10 AM to 3 PM at Rua da Estrela 124.
The collection includes a guitar from Tribo de Jah band and an original radiola sound system from Edmilson Tomé da Costa, early reggae pioneer.
