Today Gallery Alma Blou in Landhuis Habaai is the oldest and largest gallery on Curaçao, featuring local and Caribbean art.
The mansion has an ideal layout: A large main gallery, the heart, is flanked by a front and a back gallery. The building is situated in a way that makes daylight filter through it beautifully, enhancing the artworks beauty.
Collections of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry and dolls are exhibited in different spaces in such a way that their quality stands out even more.
Themes and materials vary widely, but all art has a Caribbean character and Curaçaoan flair.
Artists are inspired by the colors, the architecture, the people, the underwater life, the wind, mythology, the sea or the landscape. In short by all Curaçao and the Caribbean with their diversity has to offer and triggers the artists imagination.
Many sculptures are carved in stone, Curaçao marble or crystal, but thanks to the local bronze foundry our artists make beautiful bronze sculptures as well.
A special section is dedicated to real Curaçao imagery, such as panoramas of Punda and Otrobanda, maps of the island, imprints of old city scenes and books.
