Exploring the powerful and sinister story of the transatlantic slave trade from its roots to its pervasive global legacy, the International Slavery Museum offers a challenging and fascinating experience. Using innovative ways of telling the story, it’s very much a sensory and engaging journey, using movement, sound and touch as well as striking visual appeal to reach out to the visitor. Objects are the starting point for discovery and our varied interpretative techniques, with interactive and multimedia installations, provide opportunities for story telling, music making and drama, as well as areas for rest and quiet reflection. The rich displays challenge visitors’ perceptions and attitudes, and encourage debate on a range of issues.
