The maritime Museum t is located in a mansion built in 1729 on the Waaigat inlet, just above the Floating Market renovations were done in maritime style complete with a gangplank, portholes and ship railings, all in wood and brass. Video presentations and multimedia displays are used throughout the museum to bring Curacao's maritime history to life. Exhibits include antique miniatures, 17th Century ship models, and maps --some dating from the 1500's. Other highlights include representations of Spanish rule, the conquest of Curaçao by the Dutch and formation of the Dutch West India Company, the evolution of Willemstad as a naval base and maritime trading center, its explosive 20th century development -- and a projection of what is in store for the city in the new millennium. The Museum has its own ferry for tours of the harbor, and for bringing passengers from arriving cruise ships to the Museum. You can relax at the museum's harbor sidew cafe, and browse in its gift and souvenir shop.
