Wilberforce House, Historic house museum in Kingston upon Hull, England
The museum spans multiple floors within a restored 17th-century merchant residence, featuring exhibitions about the transatlantic slave trade and human rights campaigns.
William Wilberforce, born in this house in 1759, dedicated 18 years in Parliament introducing regular motions that led to the abolition of slavery.
The museum collection includes personal journals, documents, and artifacts that detail William Wilberforce's persistent work against the slave trade system.
