GREATER ORANJESTAD. [Temporarily closed - relocating and scheduled to reopen in 2008.] This tiny museum offers a fascinating glimpse at the life of Aruba's original inhabitants. Displays include farm tools, Indian artifacts, pottery, and art ­ as well as a few skeletons!

GREATER ORANJESTAD. Take a trip through time at this fascinating museum. The history of not only the Caribbean but the rest of the world is documented with coins. The museum was established in 1981 with the private collection of one Mario Odor, a man whose inspiration came from stumbling upon two 18th century coins while digging in his garden in 1955. With over 40,000 pieces from more than 400 countries, this is one amazing collection. You may be surprised at what you find displayed here!

GREATER ORANJESTAD. Constructed in 1796 this old Dutch fortress now houses the Historical Museum of Aruba. The museum offers displays chronicling the island's early history from ancient Caiquetio Indian artifacts through Spanish and Dutch colonialism. The Willem III Tower was added to the Fort with Aruba's first public clock and served as a lighthouse equipped with a spire and petrol lamp. All tours conclude with refreshments.#13;#10;
