Slave Trade Museum - Calabar

Well presented. Important history to know and understand.

I visited the Slave History Museum and was impressed with the information they chose to include in the in place. The museum designers made really good choices on what to include and how to describe it. The museum is rich with slave history and provides insight into fundamental facts related to the African slave trade generally. Try it, I promise you will love it.

The history in this place is a must see. I wish it was better maintained but in typical Nigerian fashion, we have let a good thing die. Really found the history lesson to be eye opening.

It's a wonderful place. You'll get to see some things that were used during the slave trade era. The staffs there are awesome and friendly. The entry fee to walk through the Slave Trade Museum is N1000 for an individual. Sad that you're not allowed to take pictures when you're on the tour, tho I feel it's better that way, but at least you need some memories too Sad also that the place is not been funded by the Government, as they now operate based on support and the fee from touring the museum. Generally, I'll say the experience was amazing..

My experience here was mind blowing and sad all at once. Having to visualize all the struggles our ancestors went through all in the name of being held captives is just an experience I believe everyone should have. The museum has real life sculptures and even voice simulations making it look like they're real and I could almost see myself in there. I remember paying #500 per person to assess the museum, but I learnt the price can vary depending on if there's Nepa light or how many people are being taught at once. Pictures are strictly not allowed once inside and I support this strongly. Thus pictures I'll share are just around and outside the museum. There are instructors who would explain every piece you come across and heaven bless them because they don't get tired. I'm a very curious person so I'm surprised my questions didn't tire them out. There is a larrrrgggeee boat inside of there that had enslaved people arranged in layers and that one had me tear up. They also sell nice history books and films there. I highly recommend. I however believe that the visitors should not have to bother about light when visiting a museum (Nepa/generator problem should be resolved internally) that was the only turn off for me.
