Wilberforce House — Attraction in Great Britain

This is one of the most thought provoking and evocative museums ever visited. The museum situated in the 'Old Town' area and Museums Quarter area of Hull and also owned by Hull Council details about William Wilberforce and the abolition of the Slave Trade. There are exhibitions about the life of William Wilberforce, the Slave Trade and also the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Wilberforce's involvement in the Aboliiton of the Slave Trade. All of the exhibitions are told in informative and thought provoking especially the exhibition about the Slave Trade detailing the origins of the Slave Trade, how they were transported to America from Africa on the boats and the horrendous conditions they lived on the boats and how they were brutally treated on the Plantations. The Great thing the exhibitions do is to make us think carefully and reflect on the horrific nature of the Slave Trade and the brutal treatment the slaves endured and how can learn from it as a society and also show respect to the different cultures around the world. All of the exhibitions are laid out in an easy to understand fashion and not too information loaded, which is brilliant. You can also see some interesting artefacts which are also equally thought provoking. The museum is also free admission and there are opportunities to provide a donation should you wish to do so. There is no cafe or gift shop on site with a gift shop at the Hull & East Riding of Yorkshire Museum with a range of souvenirs at decent affordable prices. Overall this is a fabulous and thought provoking attraction and learn about the brutality and horrific nature of the Slave Trade and highlights the good work of William Wilberforce did bringing about the Abolition of the...

Truly interesting and awesome inspiring. The waxwork of Wilberforce is incredibly amazing. The museum is a tribute to this great man and Hull's greatest son. My only criticism is that more attention should be given to Wilberforce's Christian beliefs as these were absolutely central to his role as an abolitionist. The staff were very friendly. Elsewhere in the museum, separate from the Wilberforce museum , it is baffling as to why a road is named after Gandhi and a statue of him in situ. This man has no connection with Hull. Moreover, he was an enemy of Britain and an anti-Semite. Why don't Hull CC name the road after Hull heroines, the Headscarf Revolutionaires and build a statue to them, rather than honour a foreigner and foe of this country? Come on, let's start to take pride in Hull and Yorkshire again. Enough of this lefty rubbish that honours foreigners and enemies of...

Very rich in history. Quietly tucked away on tbe old town near river Hull This museum holds one of the important histories that defined Kingston Upon Hull in recent history. William Wilberforce, the voice of freedom which roared within the British Parliament? setting gree all that were victims pf circumstaces. Whose crimes were living their peaceful lives in their peaceful lands. I have heard that some people gets very emotional as they see graphic experiences of the slaves immortalised in the museum named after the former resident of the house turned museum . So be warmed. A big question is, " ...shall we pretend none these happened or should it remind us of why we should resist all forms of modern slavery?" #food4Thought #discoveringutoday #nathdaniel #thinkonthis...
