I'm sure the International Slavery Museum will have carried out its research before it opened certainly I do not believe the council would have allowed them to open if there statements on slavery did not have some truth/fact behind it. There is evidence from documents in Liverpool University and British Online Archive (slave-trade-records-from-Liverpool-1754-1792) that show a number of slaves were brought back to Liverpool & sold to wealthy families. University of Liverpool -Department of History -Blog 21 October 2016 Blog post by Lisa (who did her History PhD focusing on Liverpool involvement in slave trade) "Researching the slave trade in Liverpool " mentions advertisements in 18th century Liverpool Newspapers " Advertisements on their pages indicate that slaves were indeed brought back and sold in Liverpool during the 18th century" While it may be true that not every slave bound for the new world came into Liverpool there are reports that some were sold at auctions in Liverpool "Only a small number of slaves were brought back to Liverpool, to be sold at local auctions. Some became house slaves for the port’s wealthy families, who believed this was an outward sign of their wealth" - Kreol Magazine - History and Culture January 20, 2017 Even so the long sad history of Liverpool (and how many prominent Liverpool businessmen and their families grew rich from slaves) human trafficking of black slaves for the New world cannot be denied. The British Online Archive document above states "In the period 1741-50 Liverpool sent out 43 per cent of the ships engaged in the British slave trade. By 1801-7 Liverpool's share had increased to 79 per cent" and "Throughout the entire period of the British slave trade, Liverpool's ships delivered over 1.1 million slaves to the New World" Liverpool Echo ran articles on the slave trade 18 Oct 2018 - Anti-Slavery Day - Liverpool's shameful history - and why the city must never forget it 14 Aug 2007 updated 8 May 2013 - STORY OF CITY'S PAST IS WRITTEN IN STONE EVIDENCE of Liverpool’s slave trade past is all over the city – in its architecture, public buildings and street names. 12 MAY 2008 Don’t disregard our city’s black history

AS far as I know only guide dogs allowed

Entry is free. The Slavery Museum upstairs is in the same building as the Maritime Museum. There is a lift and cafe as well. Hope this helps. Regards Charles

All the museums around Albert Dock are free to go in. The slavery museum is in the Maritime Museum along with Titanic and others

i would say if you look around the museum and read and listen to the recordings, about 3 hours there is a tea room on the top floor
