This museum, which is housed in one of the largest and oldest plantations on the island dating back to 1640, is one of the latest additions to Curacao's cultural scene. The museum takes a look at the lives of the former inhabitants of the area starting with the first Arawak Indians and continuing into modern history. The audio tour is worth the money as it reveals many more secrets about the harsh plantation days. Antique household items and other historic artefacts, documents and pictures are on display, but, unfortunately, to put it mildly, they're not presented in a straightforward, logical manner. This makes a visit here more like a treasure hunt than a relaxing visit to an interesting museum.
