What to expect
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.
