Museum Kurá Hulanda is situated right at the city-center harbor of Willemstad, where the Dutch shipped and "traded" in enslaved Africans.

This museum impressively exhibits the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in its totally, from capture in Africa, the journey through the Middle Passage and life in the Caribbean and the Americas. We invite our guests to imagine not only the trauma and pain that enslaved Africans experienced but also the courage, resilience and hope to survive this brutal period of history.

Museum Kurá Hulanda further exhibits a vast collection of artifacts from continental Africa, showing the dynamic vitality and great Empires of West Africa. With the exhibition of West African Kingdoms, we aim to dispel the negative portrayal of an impoverished Africa to showcase the depth of African history, beauty and cultural contributions to human civilisation.

Kura Hulanda Museum

Kurá Hulanda Museum is situated right at the city-center harbour of Otrobanda, Willemstad and delves into the role slavery played in the island of Curacao. Curacao's history is profoundly interwoven with the terrible legacy of the Dutch West India Company and slavery; and Willemstad’s harbour was one of the main transshipment point for moving enslaved people in the region on the way to plantations in North and South America, and the rest of the Caribbean. It's an essential stop that delves into the forces that shaped Curacao and the rest of the western hemisphere. In addition to the transatlantic slavery exhition, Kurá Hulanda Museum further exhibits a vast collection of artifacts from continental Africa, showing the dynamic vitality and great Empires of West Africa. In addition, the Kurá Hulanda Museum has a small but unique exhibition on ancient Mesopotamian civilizations that showcase rituals, religion, trade and everyday life.

Very Moving Experience but it needs A LOT of TLC

Very moving and informative displays throughout. First exhibits highlight Africa and its history. The last building gets into the slavery exhibition. It sure shows the lack of funding as many areas of the museum are quite dusty and not maintained. We did a self guided tour and the fonts used on all the exhibits are pretty small and difficult to read. I took pictures of many of them to read later. Many of the plaques to read are positioned way too low. If you’re 4 feet tall they’re perfect. Also it seemed like there is little to no maintenance of the actual exhibits which is such a shame. They really need to spruce the place up. They need to do audio tours like the Jewish museum to get a much better feel of the place. It’s worth seeing but kind of disappointing.

A critical look at the historical Dutch Slave Trade in Curacao. Very moving museum tour at times upsetting for the honest look at the brutal, inhumane treatment of an enslaved people. If you are sensitive, be prepared to cry.

I visited here on a Friday morning since I was in the floating bridge area. It's a very short walk from Brion City Centre. I didn't have to wait long to enter...maybe about 5 minutes while the old guy at the front desk was processing other visitors. The museum itself is well kept and organised with the main sections focusing on Mesopotamia, Africa and slavery. I opted to do the self-guided tour and spent about 90 minutes reading the the exhibit info and taking photos but I could have easily spent double the time if I stopped to read all the stories of the rise and expansions of the kingdoms that were detailed in the museum. Those I took pics of to read later. History-lovers will enjoy a visit to this museum!
be sure to visit Kura Hulanda Museum.

The Kura Hulanda Museum was one of the highlights of our trip, partly because of the way it unfolds a very long sweep of history. The exhibits on enslavement are, of course, graphic and painful. That's what makes them important to see and important to remember. The final exhibitions in the museum, are, however, compelling exhibitions of art, including memorable pieces from Benin.

Went at 8am and had to wait at the door for them to open. A tour guide would’ve been beneficial. There’s a lot of info and can be overwhelming to read over.

Weigh the service for the bill, that's why we won't return or recommend it They should have their own portal to bill, it is not possible that at this stage and with the time they have worked their service is so terrible

Very impressive experience. We were shown around by a guide. Yvonne made the whole thing alive with her stories. The transition of Abraham to contemporary human smuggling. It became a whole. From the undignified treatment of fellow human beings to telling about their roots and proud heritage, it all came to bone.
Well spent 75 minutes

If you're interested ion more of Curacao's history, including the slave trade, please visit this museum. You must get the guided tour- Yvonne was worth it.

We really were not sure what to expect when we scheduled our visit. What a thorough and interesting museum taking us through the cultural history of Curacao. I will admit there were many exhibits that were very difficult to observe. But, being from a country that enslaved people and racism still exists we truly need to be reminded of the horrors of slavery and all that the enslaved people endured. I most highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to the country. I truly learned a lot.
