Without a doubt, the most impressive museum I have ever visited, and that includes just about all the major London museums, the Louvre, the Musee deOrsey and the New York, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C. museums. Why ? The exhibits are simply arranged, the descriptions brief and well-written. Many of the exhibits can be touched; they are not in a... more

Give yourself plenty of time to see this museum, it is expansive as far as the history represented here. This museum has a lot of information on the slave trade in Curacao and history of slavery around the world. Very interesting and heartbreaking how so many people were treated so cruelly. This museum as loads of artifacts from BC to... more

$9 for an adult ticket, we also had a guide which he told us up front a $3 per person tip was greatly appreciated. Our guide was from Holland and moved to Curacao a couple years ago.

It dwells mainly on the African influences, art and the various chains hand cuffs etc. that were used in the slave trade. There is a... more

We found the Museum to be surprising in its scope and depth. I've honestly never seen such and intensive exhibit about the Slave Trade before. It covers both the role of the Carribean, as well as the continued path of slaves exported to the Americas and Europe. There were other exhibits as well, but the one on the Slave Trade,... more

This is a very good small museum. I'm not a fan of African art, but the section on slavery was very moving. I have never seen actual shackles used on slaves. The reproduction of the slave hold of the ship gave some idea of the horrible conditions that slaves endured at sea. more

If you want to take a break from the Caribbean sun, I highly recommend the Kula Hulanda Museum. However, to really get the most of the museum, you need to allow yourself at least a good 3 hours to read and understand the horror of the slavery trade business. The displays of the chains (which you can actually touch) and... more
