Curacao Maritime History Museum / A treasure chest full of history

This is one of the few museums in Curacao but it is quite fun to visit. You start your journey with the discovery of the Caribbean and later the time of piracy. The maritime history of Curacao is explained and there are quite a lot historical artefacts and photographs. There are no guided tours, a walk around takes about 1-1.5 hours. The staff is very friendly. They normally offer a boat tour through the harbour but it is temporarily not available. They hope to start it again soon.

A wonderful way to review the maritime history of Curacao. Just opposite from Punda, you can cross the bridge and have a lunch afterward.!

If you're looking for a comprehensive exhibit this museum delivers! The displays are in multiple languages and impressively detailed with additional video descriptions on certain sections. The owners have done an incredible job restoring the building and creating the exhibits. Definitely worth a second trip!

Had a very nice visit to the maritime museum. The history was definitely about the island but also equally about the Dutch which makes sense but was unexpected. Most maritime museums on islands are about the island. I didn’t mind though. The artifacts are nicely preserved and everything explained in three languages. I learned a few new things and was happy it was also air conditioned. Definitely worth stopping by.

Small but very interesting museum… a must visit if you are interested in the history of Curaçao.

Nice museum showcasing the maritime history of Curaçao. Ten dollar admission fee at the time of this review.

The museum is historical with an interesting timeline of displays, literature, collections, videos and more. Allow enough time to view all there is to see. The reception is amazing. I truly appreciate it and highly recommend going there.

The Museum has a good collection of items and naval history in Curacao and the Caribbean. It seems to be a little outdated but somebody told us that they were going to renovate and update many things. The information is only in Dutch and English. So Latinos should manage one of the languages.
