The Kura Hulanda Museum is a museum created in 2001 by the Dutch entrepreneur Jacob Gelt Dekker in Willemstad on Curaçao , which deals with the history of slavery in the West Indies . In 1997 the center of Willemstad, the districts of Otrabanda and Punda , were named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO . A little later, the Dutch entrepreneur JG Dekker acquired parts of the poor Otrabanda, restored them and converted them into a five-star hotel. The hotel Kura Hulanda ( Papiamentu : "Dutch Garden") is attached to the museum of the same name, which documents the history of slavery in the West Indies.
