The National Museum of Slavery in Luanda, Angola, is a significant cultural and historical institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history of the transatlantic slave trade. Founded in 1997, the museum is housed in a 17th-century chapel, Capela da Casa Grande, which was historically used as a holding area for enslaved Africans before they were shipped to the Americas. The museum's exhibits include artifacts, documents, and personal stories that illustrate the brutal realities of slavery and the profound impact it had on Angolan society and the world.
