At Museum Kurá Hulanda, set at the city-centre harbour of Willemstad — the very port where the Dutch shipped and traded enslaved Africans — you will encounter a thorough presentation of the Trans‑Atlantic Slave Trade. The displays trace the story from capture in Africa, through the Middle Passage, to life in the Caribbean and the Americas. Along the way you are invited to imagine not only the trauma and pain experienced by enslaved Africans but also the courage, resilience and hope that helped people survive this brutal chapter of history.
The museum also presents a large collection of artefacts from continental Africa, highlighting the dynamic vitality and the great empires of West Africa. The exhibition of West African Kingdoms aims to counter the negative portrayal of an impoverished Africa and to show the depth of African history, its beauty and the cultural contributions it has made to human civilisation. Overall, your visit will combine confronting historical realities with exhibitions that celebrate African heritage and achievement.
