WILLEMSTAD – The interactive museum in Otrobanda is looking back on a successful Meet & Greet event with artist Marcel van Duijneveldt, whose unique exhibition imagining a future metro system for Curaçao has attracted significant public interest.
Visitors gathered on Friday to meet the artist and discuss his ongoing exhibition, which explores a fictional “Curaçao Metro Company” through the use of artificial intelligence-generated imagery and creative storytelling.
The temporary exhibition presents an imaginative vision of what Curaçao could look like with a modern metro network connecting recognizable locations across the island. Through digitally created images, posters and other visual displays, Van Duijneveldt invites visitors to consider alternative possibilities for transportation and urban development on the island.
One of the exhibition’s most popular features allows visitors to order customized T-shirts featuring a metro station named after their own neighborhood, further connecting the fictional transit system to real-life communities across Curaçao.
Museum representatives said the Meet & Greet provided visitors with the opportunity to gain deeper insight into the creative process behind the project and to engage directly with the artist about the role of technology, imagination and future planning in contemporary art.
The exhibition complements the museum’s permanent collection, which focuses on the culture, history and identity of Curaçao. By combining local themes with AI-assisted visual creation, the project offers a modern and interactive perspective on how the island could evolve in the future.
The exhibition will remain open to the public through June 30.
