Landhuis Bloemhof
Landhuis Bloemhof is a plantation home, art gallery, and museum located in Willemstad. Landhuis Bloemhof began as a tiny plantation around 1735. It was mostly a water plantation where drinking water was sold. There are water wells, dams, an aqueduct, and various reservoirs on the property. The plantation produced laraha, a bitter orange, until 1896.
May Henriquez's Landhuis Bloemhof is a cultural institution devoted to her memory. This historic mansion welcomes contemporary visual artists to exhibit their work. There's plenty more to see and do on the estate's seventeen acres, including May Henriquez's frozen-in-time sculpture workshop, the Ex Libris May-Max Library, and our gift shop, which features colorful souvenirs, handcrafted jewelry, and art books, to name a few.
On the property, in the gardens, there is also a bath house tucked between shady trees, Herman van Bergen's Labyrinth/Cathedral of Thorns, and Hortence Brown's open air sculpture workshop. Enjoy a cultural experience surrounded by history, modern art, and nature as you stroll through the park. In the midst of the rush and bustle of our metropolitan surroundings, the tropical Curaçao bush, or mondi as we call it, is a unique surprise. Don't miss this one of the most beautiful historical sites in Curaçao when you come here!
