Museum Kura Hulanda

My women's group took a guided tour here. It was very informative and overwhelming moving. Going down to the hull of the slave ship had me in tears. It's one thing to read about them, but seeing it was heartbreaking. I definitely recommend taking the tour when in Curacao.

My wife and I loved the museum. We easily lost track of time and spent 2 hours viewing the different exhibits. My only complaint is that the lighting on some of the exhibits were poor.

A really impressing exhibition. Slavery and colonialism is part of Curacaos history. I had a guide which explained good, but going in the deep it is better walking around alone. Unfortunately I think there is no much caring about actualizing. It looked like as if nothing had been done for 30 years. Fotos and copies of documents are fading. But I was really touched. Worth a visit and thinking a bit about Imperialism, modern slavery, tyrans, autocracies … and drinking a lot of rum after the conclusion, that mankind is Not willing to learn …

I was hoping for a little more information and explanation of the items in the exhibition. Even though the museum has a large amount of historical content and you can lose track of time some exhibition information is getting washed by the time. Also you can feel a foul smell at some point. With my girlfriend opted for not paying for a guide which was additional to the entrance fee but might recommend it to get more information on the exhibitions.

Cute little museum to walk through. Its very small. Can go through with a tour or by yourself.

A visit to the Museum Kura Hulanda was an opportunity to view the history and culture of Curacao through the perspective of its people. I highly recommend; there was so much I learned and was able to connect the dots of history by seeing the artifacts contained within the Kura Hulanda experience. This was a great moment to acknowledge where we are as humans - and how much further we have to go.

Museum Kurá Hulanda is a fascinating journey through history, spanning cultural areas and time periods such as the transatlantic slave trade, West African Empires, Mesopotamian relics, and Antillean art. We chose to explore with a tour guide, which turned out to be an excellent decision—there’s so much to take in, and the guide added depth and context to the experience. While the exhibits are incredibly enriching, some of the topics are emotionally heavy, so be prepared for that. Overall, it’s worthwhile for anyone interested in the Antilles history and culture.

The tour guide is a must. The photos on Google doesn't help promote this place. But I will be the definitely will.
