Take advantage of the guided tour. We used the tour guide for $3 pp and it was worth it. We had the chance to ask questions for clarity and hear the story behind most exhibits.

We had a private tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable. The artifacts and stories were hard to believe. It was very unsettling to understand all the atrocities that took place.

This is a great museum. It provides a very informative lesson on the history of slavery in Curacao. Get the guided tour, for a more thorough perspective.

This was one of the more in-depth museum/historical tours I've taken. Evonne was so knowledgeable about the evolution of the slave trade in Curacao. The artifacts were awesome!

This is a very educational but at the same time sensitive experience. Lots of informative information. There are also many artifacts used during this period. The Africa room is soo full of culture with many cool pieces! Very nice museum.

Loved learning about how the trans Atlantic slave trade affected curaçao. Very informative museum! Rich in history and culture. Recommend adding the guided tour guide for historical context

We had a wonderful time at the museum. This was my second time and it was just as good as the first. I would highly recommend it. The staff are so thoughtful and knowledgeable. Love this museum and the ability to learn so much important history.

The artifacts collected and the thorough explanation of each item and its origin. The best African Museum and materials I have ever seen. A great learning experience. MM from USA

I had read previous reviews and knew I needed to see it. The staff was welcoming. We toured without a guide though if you are in a large group (over 6) it may be reasonable to have one. The displays and artifacts were presented well. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll though the Hulanda Village as well! Would have loved the tour experience to include transportation from our resort.

Paid to have the tour guide. She did her best, unfortunately she was not fully knowledgeable to answer many of the questions we asked. It was a superficial explanation of the artifacts and history. It’s a good museum to check out, but recommend skipping the guided tour.
