National Museum of Slavery, Historical museum in Morro da Cruz, Luanda, Angola
The National Museum of Slavery exhibits hundreds of artifacts from the slave trade period, including chains, sculptures, and maritime transportation equipment.
The museum stands on the former property of Alvaro de Carvalho Matoso, a major slave trader who operated along the African coast until 1798.
The museum presents documentation and objects that illustrate the forced migration of over 5 million Angolans during the Portuguese colonial period.
Located near the Atlantic Ocean and Mussulo Island, the museum maintains regular hours from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
The site contains 18th-century baptismal cauldrons where enslaved individuals received religious conversion before their Atlantic crossing.
