Gallery Alma Blou

After being located in a striking blue-purple rental property on the Rouvilleweg in Otrobanda since 1996. Lusette and Herman Verboom had the courage to purchase a plantation house, Landhuis Habaai, which has been empty for many years and was considerably dilapidated, and transform it from ruins into a monument for art in the twenty-first century. Visual arts are now displayed in the specious main building and original handcrafts has their own space in the folk art store. This all come together in this historic building at the Frater Radulphusweg at the outskirts of Willemstad where art lovers undeniably know to find their way.

Themes and materials used by the featured artists vary widely, but all art has a Caribbean energy. Artists are inspired by the colors, architecture, people, underwater life, the fresh wind, mythology, the Caribbean Sea and the local landscape. All of this diversity triggers the artist’s imagination found in their resulting body of work.

Gallery Alma Blou has become the oldest and largest art gallery in Curaçao, featuring local and Caribbean art.
