Bob Marley Studio Burnt..collection lost again!!

Bob Marley Studio in Ghana
 The original tapes of Bob Marley recordings might have been lost in a fire recently. The multimillion dollar recording studio which also has a storage section was partially gutted by fire on Saturday in Ghana.
The studio was built by Rita Marley as part of the repatriation dream of the late great Bob Marley. There were no casualties and the cause of the fire was not confirmed but reports are that it appeared to be due to electrical problems.
This would be another loss from Bob Marley collection if the reports are true. It was reported in December 2008 that thieves made off with a collection of Bob Marley's, Peter Tosh and other great reggae artiste work of art. Since then there has been hardly any report of any recovery of those irreplaceable collection.
Is there a reggae Hall of Fame.. or Museum?... apart from that of Bob Marley museum on Hope Road..
We need some of the these stuff to be properly stored and preserved and available for the public to access.
