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.

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.
