Museum Kurá Hulanda is situated right at the city-center harbor of Willemstad, where the Dutch shipped and traded in enslaved Africans.
This museum impressively exhibits the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in its totally, from capture in Africa, the journey through the Middle Passage and life in the Caribbean and the Americas. We invite our guests to imagine not only the trauma and pain that enslaved Africans experienced but also the courage, resilience and hope to survive this brutal period of history.
Museum Kurá Hulanda further exhibits a vast collection of artifacts from continental Africa, showing the dynamic vitality and great Empires of West Africa. With the exhibition of West African Kingdoms, we aim to dispel the negative portrayal of an impoverished Africa to showcase the depth of African history, beauty and cultural contributions to human civilisation.
