US President Obama visited the Bob Marley Museum in the Jamaican capital of Kingston on his recent three-day official visit to Jamaica and Panama.

The museum is based in a large Victorian house that was the reggae singer’s residence until his death in 1981.

“I still have all the albums,” Obama said while touring the museum, with guide Natasha Clark, according to a White House pool report.

Still photographers only were permitted to accompany the President during his museum tour.

Following the 20-minute tour, Obama departed the building as Marley's song One Love played on the museum speakers. This was the first official US presidential visit to Jamaica since 1982.
