jammer913 Posted December 4, 2012 Author #2 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I just got my own question answered thanks to Debbie at the Kura Hulanda museum. She e-mailed me they will be open Dec. 31, and Jan 2, but NOT Jan 1st. Hope this helps anyone interested in visiting. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 19, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Having been there last month, let me say, it is an interesting musuem with an important story to tell. However, the story-teller/guide we had (on a tour mis-described as a walking tour of the Willemstad-Punda/area) went on a hour and a half (out of a 2 1/2 hour tour total that was already 20 minutes old by the time we reached the museum) diatribe and interactive demonstration of exhibits. At kindness, you could describe him as being a bitterly anti-Dutch person who thrived on attempting to shock and awe tourists. If touring on your own, forego the guide--the exhibits brutally demonstrate the savagery themselves--and walk through in about 30 minutes. There are many other equally interesting places and museums to see and things to do. Be advised that shops and many public places close at 5:30-6 PM local time, which is currently 1 hour ahead of most ships times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
