The Bonaire Museum is located on Kaya J.C. van der Ree in Kralendijk, Bonaire.

It’s built in 1885 by a Venezuelan plantation owner and was bought by the Herrera family, one of the influential families on Bonaire. At that time, the house was called the ‘Van der Ree house’. The house became a small shop with cow and goat meat from the Washington plantation, charcoal, vegetables, canned food and later on also beer and lemonade.

Nowadays this beautiful plantation town house is one of the historical monuments of Bonaire and it houses the Bonaire Museum of Natural History. It is a nice and cozy museum and shows many things you can or could see on Bonaire like Indian artifacts, shells and sea animals, birds of Bonaire, corals, fossils of shells, tools used on the plantations, antique bottles and much more.
