Beginning
with the capital city of Willemstad, which is one of UNESCO's 80-something
World Heritage sites, Curaçao has preserved its history and
that of the Caribbean in what could be termed a living museum. Curaçao
is home to the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere. The Kura
Hulanda hotel is a living museum with artifacts from China, Africa,
and the Caribbean.
The African Slave Museum explores the tragic history that shaped so
much of Curaçao's history and that of the Caribbean. In fact,
Curaçao has more museums per capita than any country in the
world, making a visit to Curaçao an enriching and rewarding
experience. |
