A poignant and important place to visit, the Kura Hulanda Museum covers the long-lasting legacy of the transatlantic slave trade in the region. Full of engaging exhibits and centuries-old artifacts, it occupies what was once the home of a Dutch merchant and slave owner. Lying along the western quayside of St Anna Bay, the complex of well-preserved colonial buildings once lay not far from the slave market in Otrobanda. Poor captives from Western Africa were often held at the house before being sold on to other slave owners on the island or even further afield. Its very well-done displays look at how people were first captured in Africa and then transported to the Americas with others focusing on the cultural legacy this left behind. Alongside all its exhibits, you can see handcrafted statues and slave shackles, pre-Columbian gold and Mesopotamian relics.
