Reviewed By chrisbH2241WA - Wirral, United Kingdom

We visited based on the recommendation of a BBC book of 100 places that shaped the UK. The museum is based in William Wilberforce’s family home & is now within a vibrant museum quarter in Hull. There is a wealth of information, set out attractively & accessibly, on the house, the history of slavery, Wilberforce’s political battle to end the slave trade, the Middle Passage, the slave experience, the aftermath of slavery, African culture & contemporary slavery. We didn’t manage to see everything in the time that we had. A great visit & it’s free!
