Advantages: educational free entrance
Disadvantages: opens your eyes to some awful times
this museum is located at albert docks in liverpool it is easily accessible. its about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the train station so its accessible from many places. it shows different stages of slavery through the ages. i found this museum quite disturbing although it does open your eyes to a lot. it teaches you all about prejudice and how people have been treated throgh the years. the most disturbing thing for me was the klu klux klan outfit which was on display i found this quite sickening. it lets you listen to typical slave music and has large screens throughout the museum where you can watch clips of slaves through the years. it has lots of information dotted about everywhere so you can learn about each area with both audio and visual aids. you have to have a strong stomach to sit and watch parts of it as they are quite horrible. its very educational.
free entrance
