Let's start by saying this....If you are of African Decent you will find this museum hard to complete and very very emotional. This national gem Is carefully and masterfully curated to showcase a history that is constantly pushed to be forgotten. Relics from the Middle East, Africa, American History, History of the Island of Curacao and more are beautifully displayed with lots of historical information to read along the way. The items displayed will break your heart, leave you in disgust and angry at a global history that Is filled with cruelty and shame. At the same time you can bask in the brilliant culture that has been discovered of a people who once lived a life of pride, art, architecture and grace. This museum for me was one I planned on visiting but left me in a small corner shedding tears. It was amazing but touching and once again extremely emotional. I was grateful for the opportunity to learn more and experience a historic exhibition. I am grateful to the staff and curators for creating such an amazing interactive and informative well organized, well preserved, outstanding space to display the history of people who came before me who endured more than anyone can imagine and suffered more than anyone on this planet. This museum is a harsh reminder of how beautiful humans can be and how disgustingly cruel many have been throughout history and continue to be until this day. This place truly exemplified the great quote "In this great future you cannot forget your past" -Bob Marley
