Three Curaçao art galleries worth visiting.
These are not interchangeable stops. One offers the broadest view of Curaçaoan art, one combines exhibitions with heritage and nature, and one gives direct access to a working sculptor.

Best overview
Gallery Alma Blou
Curaçao’s oldest and largest gallery is the strongest first stop for a broad selection of local and Caribbean painting, sculpture, prints, books, and island imagery. It is housed in Landhuis Habaai and also has a useful gift section.

7.1 Experience
At Landhuis Morgenster, small works and 7.1-meter sculpture share one space. Walk-ins are free Monday and Wednesday–Sunday, 10:00–15:30. Reserve a 60-minute tour to hear the stories in Papiamentu, English, Spanish, or Dutch; Portuguese requires advance booking.
