The International Slavery Museum is situated in Liverpool, within the Albert Dock on the Liverpool Waterfront. Opened in 2007, it sits only a few yards away from the dry docks where 18th-century slave trading ships were repaired and fitted. The museum sheds light on the history of the transatlantic slave trade, which played a significant role in Liverpool's development. It features three main galleries: Life in West Africa, Enslavement and the Middle Passage, and Legacy, exploring the cultural impact of slavery and the enduring struggle for freedom and equality. The museum provides a powerful educational experience, highlighting the stories and resilience of enslaved people and their descendants. Artifacts, personal stories, and interactive displays engage visitors, aiming to raise awareness about historical and contemporary issues related to slavery and human rights.
