The International Slavery Museum, located in the same ports that saw slave ships depart for the African continent and the New World some two hundred years earlier, is an exhibition at the Albert Dock in Liverpool. The museum features exhibits and displays dedicated to celebrating the culture of Africans enslaved and brought to work in the New World, commemorating the experiences of those who were enslaved and informing visitors about how the slave trade operated. In this essay I will discuss how the museum presented the African population and its culture, how the transatlantic slave trade was presented and finally I will compare the way the museum presented these topics with the way the museums presented them. historians. WhoPhillips' Native African Population paints a picture that African culture and people were backward at the time of European contact with the African continent and suggests that their life was "savage". He even wonders whether contact with Europeans was a blessing or a curse. These views are reiterated by other historians. Stanley Elkins' book describes African culture as "primitive" and questions whether African culture was culture. He says the distance between African settlements in Africa has meant that "hopeless diversity" has prevented the African population from resisting. Resistance to the European masters is barely mentioned in the book. It is therefore obvious that the views presented in the museum do not reflect the older views of Africans. The museum focused more on the experience of African slaves in the Americas than anything else, but there was some key information about how they traveled to the New World. and the conditions they faced. In this area the use of video and displays was much more widespread. This is probably due to the fact that this was the main area of ​​the museum. The museum used videos (see Figure 2) to inspire emotional feelings among visitors: one video was of a woman describing her friend's punishment and escape attempt, while the other was a detailed, wordless video of slaves transported aboard a slave ship to the Americas. The second video was on two three hundred and sixty degree curved screens and with surround sound, fully involving the visitor in the experience. This was a clever use of video and sound to elicit a moving response from visitors as they began to feel the reality of a slave's journey to the Americas. The museum also used complete models of plantations (see Figure 3) and slave ships (Figure 4) to allow the visitor to interact with the experience of the slave traveling and working in the Americas. Interactive displays were again used in exhibits discussing where African slaves came from and where they were brought to work, and what colonies European states held in Africa (see Figure
