For over 300 years, the slave trade tore more than 12 million African people from their homes and families. In this exhibition, we reflect on how the wealth created through transatlantic slavery shaped the development of Britain.
The exhibition is open Monday to Friday 10am – 5pm, with late openings until 8pm every third Thursday of the month. The exhibition will be on until 28 April 2023.
Entry is free, and no need to book ahead.
