Small but interesting

Lovely little one room museum, the lady came out to greet us and showed us around and between the info boards that are in English and Papiamentu and her Ok English we fully appreciated the wonderful music machines that had been built by Mr Pinedo. And in fcat the 97 year old inventor came out and played 2 songs for us on the machine

Worth the visit
This museum provides a really fun and educational interactive experience. Guided tour through photos and artifacts of one man's life and his quest to build and program his own Ka'i Orgel. More than worth the drive and small donation. The secluded northwestern tip of Curacao is a hidden gem.

Small but nice
Not much is known outside the Dutch Leeward islands about the Ka'i Orgel, a hurdy-gurdy string instrument originating in Europe. Serapio Pinedo, their most prolific builder has made 62. Now finally you can get to know those instruments a bit better in this modest but well-planned museum. Info on building and arranging for them, and on their history. If you're interested in music, well worth a visit.
