A self-guided Giovanni Abath sculpture route.
The works are spread across Curaçao, so treat this as three stops rather than a walking tour. Brionplein fits into a Willemstad day; Blue Bay and Landhuis Morgenster are easier by car.

Brionplein · free
History in Motion
Find the work beside the Otrobanda end of the Queen Emma Bridge. Installed for Flag Day in 2018, its eight steel sections form a protective crown around Curaçao’s flagpole; the shields reference episodes in the island’s history.

Man of Steel + Palu di Spiritu II
Blue Bay Sculpture Garden contains two Abath works. Man of Steel (2017) suspends stainless steel and glass inside a triangular frame; Palu di Spiritu II draws on the locally symbolic kenepa spirito tree. Entry to the art route is free, but registration with ID is required at the resort gate.

Light Bearer
Portado di Lus stands 7.1 meters high at the entrance to Landhuis Morgenster and lights after dark. Visit during 7.1 Experience opening hours to compare its scale with Giovanni’s smaller steel works and see the fabrication details up close.
