What visitors say
I appreciated that they focus not only on the suffering, but also on the resistance and on recognizing the cultural and artistic knowledge and traditions of the societies from which enslaved people were taken.

Hostory of slavery is painful but its essential to reflect upon it. This place brings in the history on how transatlantic slavery took shape over time. However, I think there are more scopes to improve the place. For instance, how the slavery and modern capitalism linked, or who were the most notable slave owners in history, how the slaves were treated, - i couldn’t see them here. Maybe that part of the portrayal is essential for a Museum like this.

This important and informative free museum is located inside the Maritime Museum. It isn't afraid of telling the untold stories of victims and of the part the UK and others played in slavery.

A painful chapter in human history that continues to plague society. Slavery is appropriately presented by this museum for its visitors. I like the exhibits in form of multimedias, interactive dioramas, images, stories, replicas, among others. School children were quite noisy and running around but kids will be kids. 😅😆🫠
