Located in the Western part of Otrobanda, the Curacao Museum is housed in a colonial style building and conveys an air of authenticity at the very first glance. In this spacious museum the geological history of Curacao is displayed, as well as pre-Colombian Indian artifacts; maps and charts of America and the Caribbean region; professions the afro-Curaçaoan practiced after the abolition of slavery, their beliefs and mode of living, a traditional plantation kitchen; antique mahogany furniture (18th and 19th century) and paintings by local and international artist. Unique in the Caribbean region is the carillon with 47 bells. The Snipgallery houses the cockpit of the ‘Snip’, the first KLM plane to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1934. The large shaded grounds are a pleasant place to stroll. Occasionally the museum grounds are the venue for musical concerts.
Opening hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM, Saturday closed, Sunday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
