Featuring an ample selection of artefacts and African artwork, the Kura Hulanda Museum presents the centuries-long history of transatlantic slave trade, and shows how it shaped society and culture in the Caribbean. Situated in the eponymous district adorned with colonial buildings — now hosting an array of hotels and eateries — it provides a profound cultural immersion.

This museum traces the story of the United States, from the Civil War to the 20th century, including key moments like the JFK assassination. You can see everything from the original Star-Spangled Banner to presidential artifacts. The museum also offers demonstrations, tours, lectures, and occasional live performances, so there’s always something to explore beyond the main exhibits.

Palazzo Madama is one of the historic buildings of Piazza Castello, together with the Royal Palace. The layers of history that from this palace are extraordinary. At the beginning of the first century BC, the site of the palace was occupied by a gate in the Roman city walls. The two restored towers still testify to this original nucleus. The back of the palace looks like a medieval stronghold, while the ornate facade was added by the Savoy family to better match the overall look of the square. Today it houses the Museum of Ancient Arts, with its impressive collection of paintings.
