Curacao Museum

The oldest still running museum of Curacao
This unique Museum is located in a beautiful monumental building dated from 1853. The old Military Hospital was given its new museum function by dr. Chris J.H. Engels together with his father-in-law Rudolf F.W. Boskaljon. Together with the community of Curacao, which helped raise 80.000 guilders for the acquisition of the inventory, The Curacao Museum could officially open its doors on March 7th of 1948. The collection of The Curacao Museum is a combination of objects dated from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st century. Highlights of the museum are the various paintings of well-known local and international artists, Curacao furniture of the 18th and 19th century, the cockpit of the SNIP, KLM’s first airplane to cross the ocean from Holland to Curacao, the traditional Curacao kitchen, the Carillon dating from 1951 and the beautiful sculptures located in the garden of the museum by Luis Brion, Emanuel Piar, Yubi Kirindongo, Hortence Brown, Phillipe Zanolino and others.

Small but interesting items never seen at other island museums.

Cat Cosby

A lovely museum with some interesting artifacts What I particularly loved was the seamless integration of modern art alongside the historical pieces. It added a unique and refreshing dimension to the museum experience.

Larry Taylor

The tour was kind of interesting but the building was deteriorating really bad

Avantia Damberg

It's the only museum on the island with a permanent modern art collection and exciting bi-monthly contemporary art exhibitions.
And worthy to mention during the openings always premium wine and the famous "kaasbal".

Arthur Matthews

This museum is in need of serious renovation. There were areas where the water had leaked in and was even filling an exhibit in the kitchen. We were disappointed that although it had some interesting exhibits it fails to be in my opinion a serious museum for the island. Run down and needing serious capital injection. I cannot recommend this for a visit.

I don't think I have ever given a place one star before, but for the half-hour walk each way, and the$10 entry fee, I believe in warm weather, I would not have gone had I known it wasn't much information. You are basically given and eight and a half by 11 laminated sheet of paper printed on both sides of the different rooms inside the house. Other than that, not much history or anything. I would not recommend this as a stop it was way out of the way. We got way more information from our 4 Hour Island Tour by Irie.
