Curaçao owes its existence to the sea. Its strategic location and natural harbor made it a major seafaring and commercial center from early in its history. The museums interior harmoniously embraces the age-old maritime history and modern design in a historic 17th century building spectacularly restored to its former glory. The museum is located in a mansion built in 1729 on the Waaigat inlet just above the floating market. Exhibits include antique miniatures, 17th century ship models and maps, some even dating back to 1500.
Embark on our unique narrated harbor tour. Visitors can relax at the harbor site café and browse the museum gift shop. Harbor tours on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, reservations are required.
Opening hours: Monday through Saturday 9:00 AM - 04:00 PM
