The museum tells the history of slavery in the Caribbean and Americas, as well as post-slavery historical facts.
Very interesting the exhibition on African peoples and their relations in the period

A good choice for those interested in doing something educational while on Curacao. The museum is big enough to offer a good learning experience and a variety of exhibitions while not being so expansive as to feel overwhelming. The African slave trade exhibition was challenging to stomach (as it should be), but it also provided an interesting opportunity to reflect on the ethnic diversity of the island today. I visited on a Saturday in May, and there really wasn't much of a line to skip. You can probably just walk in and pay for admission if you don't want to commit ahead of time to buying a ticket for a specific date. That being said, I like to navigate museums at my own pace. If you're interested in a guided tour, I do think you have to schedule in advance.

We hadden een goede gids die veel wist te vertellen. Ook vragen kon beantwoorden. Leerzame dag. Aanrader om wat meer te leren over het slavernij verleden.
