International Slavery Museum, National museum in Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, England.
The International Slavery Museum spans three galleries examining West African life, enslavement processes, and the ongoing fight for freedom throughout history.
Liverpool's role as a major port in the transatlantic slave trade led to the museum's establishment in 2007, coinciding with the Remembrance of Slave Trade Day.
The museum presents over 400 annotated songs from Africa and African diaspora, documenting experiences through music, narratives, and personal accounts.
Located on the third floor of the Maritime Museum building, this free-entry institution welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00.
The museum maintains a dedicated shrine where visitors can reflect on the lives of enslaved ancestors through contemplative space and ceremonial objects.
