Life in West Africa

A loan of objects to a new permanent exhibition at the Wilberforce Museum.

Wilberforce House, the home of the leading Parliamentary advocate for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, has reopened following a major renovation.

Among the new displays is a permanent exhibition focussing on life in West Africa today, linking with Hull’s twin city of Freetown, Sierra Leone.
