The International Slavery Museum in Liverpool is part of the National Museums Liverpool group. It is concerned specifically with the Atlantic Slave Trade, rather than the history of slavery in other regions and eras.
The museum is located on the third floor of the building that houses the Merseyside Maritime Museum, with the UK Border Agency National Museum, 'Seized! The Border and Customs uncovered', located in a gallery in the basement.
