The International Slavery Museum is located within Liverpool's Albert Dock, inside the Maritime Museum building. The museum is the only one of it's kind and looks at the aspects of historical and contemporary slavery. Expect to be taken on a moving explorative journey beginning at life before slavery. It looks at the people of West Africa and their rich and varied history and culture developed, long before European slaves. The museum also has a large collection of racist memorabilia, objects and images such as toys, postcards, books, sheet-music, novelty and household items which show racist depictions and caricatures of people of African descent. Such objects reveal how attitudes of prejudice and fear about Black people were shaped. These everyday objects which were common throughout the late 18th century and mid 20th century, reflect the history and legacy of racism and discrimination faced by people of African descent.
