As from now on a very interesting museum on Aruba is open to the public again. Take this opportunity to learn about our island and experience a different day beyond the beach. Let us introduce to you the Museum of industry located in San Nicolas.

The Museum of Industry in San Nicolas, also known as the art capital of Aruba, represents the history of gold, aloe, phosphate, oil and tourism through elaborated displays and multimedia installations. A unique opportunity to learn about Aruba’s history, as well as the vibrant cultural heritage of this part of the island. Learn about the incredible versatility Aruba has shown in history and the opportunity to experience the stories of those who were part of this history.

The Museum of Industry is situated in the Iconic Water Tower in San Nicolas and narrates Aruba’s industrial history which began in the 19th century. The Water Tower was built in 1939 and consists of three sections: the substructure, the high-rising vertical shaft, and the tank at the top. The Water Tower was purchased by the Monuments fund in 2003 so it could be restored and preserved as one of Aruba’s monuments. The Museum of Industry is part of Fundacion Museo Arubano (FMA), which is a foundation set to maintain, preserve, and protect the Aruban culture sector, history, and nature. The museum of Industry is open On Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 9 am till 5 pm.
