  It's a must-see museum. The history of slavery is overwhelming. It gathers one, ample show from times BC to the 20th century. Its richness is sculptural art.

  Interesting section on the slave trade and beautiful African antiquities collection. Make sure you look through all the buildings, almost missed one since signage isn’t clear. Some of the text is hard to read and repeats, but was happy to support and it’s well maintained.

  

• Wealth of history, emotion-invoking displays and exhibits.

  We would have opted for a tour guide, except that I like moving very slowly through exhibits, reading and studying in detail. We started in the ancient history room that displayed many artifacts from areas of Mesopotamia, Egypt, around the Mediterranean, through Greek and Roman Empires. It then follows a time line through to the present with focuses on trade, cultures, religious influences, colonization, and enslavement of peoples. Lots of great signage with information is posted throughout, many documents and artifacts to view. The curators mention that they are taking care to use accurate replicas where possible to ensure original artifacts can be returned to their countries of origin, which is admirable.

• 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.

• A Must See Historical Treasure in Curaçao

  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!

  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.
