International Slavery Museum
The International Slavery Museum interprets Liverpool’s role in transatlantic slavery and its continuing legacies. Its subject gives essential context to an Albert Dock walk and the city’s port wealth.
Why go
Its subject is essential to understanding the wealth represented by Liverpool’s docks and mercantile buildings. The museum has centred the lives of enslaved people, West African societies and the lasting effects of the trade. That perspective connects the Albert Dock setting to the human consequences of the Atlantic economy, giving the waterfront more than an architectural story.
What to look for
Place the Albert Dock warehouses in the wider history of Atlantic trade.
