Guided Tours

The museum offers two guided tours. If you are planning to visit the museum, be sure to have a look at the list, and plan your museum visit around one or more of our guided tours.

Steam For Oil

The oil industry made a huge impact on the Curaçao community at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1918 the oil refinery started its production, refining Venezuelan oil from the Lake of Maracaibo. It brought welfare for the local people and was the essense for further development of the harbor activities in the Schottegat.

The Curaçao Maritime Museum has a separate exhibition about the oil industry on the island. A full working miniature of the refinery (7x3 m - 21' x9') makes this exhibition not just educational, but moreover exiting!

Children between 6 and 12 years old enjoy 50% discount. The tour is free for children under the age of six.
