Slave History Museum, National museum in Marina Beach, Calabar, Nigeria
The Slave History Museum exhibits chains, shackles, and trading currencies in a former fifteenth-century slave-trading warehouse near Marina Beach.
Between 1662 and 1863, approximately 200,000 African individuals were transported from Calabar into slavery through the transatlantic trade routes.
The museum displays life-size figures and artifacts that document the procurement, transport conditions, and market operations of the slave trade period.
The museum opens daily, including weekends and holidays, offering guided tours and educational programs about human rights and slavery history.
The building served as a barracoon with holding cells where captured individuals waited before boarding ships during the slave trade era.
